Gnawa (2005)
Choreography: Nacho Duato Music: Hassan Hakmoun, Adam Rudolph, Juan Alberto Arteche, Javier Paxariño, Rabih Abou-Khalil, Velez, Kusur and Sarkissian Lighting: Nicolás Fischtel Costume: Luis Devota and Modesto Lomba Restaging: Hilde Koch and Tony Fabre (1964-2013) Organization and original production: Carlos Iturrioz Mediart Producciones SL (Spain) Duration/cast: 23 minutes with 14 dancers Premiere: 2005 | Harris Theater for Music and Dance, Chicago/United States Debut SPDC: 2009 | Teatro Sérgio Cardoso, São Paulo/SP – Brazil Nacho Duato was inspired by the nature of Valencia, surrounded by sea and sun, and by Mediterranean aromas, colors and flavors, to create Gnawa. The Gnawas are a mystical Islamic fellowship. Duato is interested in gravity and the use of the solo as key elements in constituting his dance. This interest is renewed in a ritualistic tone involving a musical trance that leads to (and is driven by) the movement of the bodies. -

This great success by choreographer Henrique Rodovalho was originally created in 2005 for his company, Quasar Cia de Dança, and now it has a special version designed for the dancers of São Paulo Companhia de Dança. “This first reassembly of a show by Quasar Cia de Dança“ just had to be ”with SPDC. It is a beautiful meeting in the Quasar / Rodovalho style of dancing with all the technical improvement of São Paulo Dance Company”, comments Rodovalho. -
