Iracema
Age: 5+
Duration: 30min
Audience Size:
Iracema is a dance piece for children that starts from the female character of the born in Ceará Brazilian novelist José de Alencar to deconstruct the myth of the virgin of the honey lips, problematizing issues that pervade the figure of the woman, as well as the sense of her presence as part of the native people from Brazil in the past and present. To revisit José de Alencar's work today is to problematize his narrative, raising questions concerning the genocide of the native people, feminicide, sexism, racism and other issues present in his work.
In this dance we look at Iracema provocatively, reversing codes and using the clichés of Ceará's culture in an ironic and critical way to imagine with the children other stories of Iracema that can be danced.
