To create Umbó Leilane Teles based on a premise she baptized as “the creation of desire”, which talks about the desire to become who one wants to be based on a certain reference and how this reverberates in the body of each person. In this sense, the act of being inspired also produces inspiration, generating an infinite cycle. Singer and composer Tiganá Santana, singer Virginia Rodrigues and choreographer Matias Santiago are the starting point of Umbó, which invites the public to appreciate and revere the arts and trajectories of these personalities, as well as the dancers on stage and all the artists involved in the design of the work.
