The show 'Tela Azul', by Márcio Cunha Dança Contemporânea, proposes to bring a reflection on the cycles of nature and human life, using the life and works of Taizi Harada, painter contemporary Japanese art of naïve art.

Taizi is a painter with polio who in his childhood lived in the highlands of Japan. Immobilized in a wheelchair, he watched attentively with his childish eyes the village that was in the valley changing with each season. In search of contemplation, poetry and connection with nature pointed out in the works of Taizi, Márcio Cunha studies the intuitive path of the same, investigating the nature of time and the connection of movement with the emotional states of the human being .

With no beginning or end, Tela Azul is a cutout in the cyclical repetition of the seasons, a large canvas to be painted by the dancers who color the scene and texture the stage with sensations through movement. For choreographer Márcio Cunha, it is a sensorial show based on impressions of the world, which comes to life in the bodies of the performers, thus proposing to resize space, changing man's relationship with time.

Delicacy and femininity are concrete forms of expression of movement that oblige the spectator to bring his gaze closer and see the small details that make up the painting. With a strong topographic concern that shapes the stations, 'Tela Azul' will reveal new spaces that, combined with the dynamics imprinted in the movement of the interpreters, give volume and density to the scenes.

Year of debut: 2008.
