As Cores da América Latina
[The Colors Of Latin America]

The Chilean celebration Fiesta de la Tirana, the Peruvian dance ritual Huaconada, and the traditional folguedo Cavalo Marinho, a Brazilian performative festival, inspire the show’s bodies and visuals. By proposing a conversation between these three cultural expressions and elements of dance and theater, the show presents a nonlinear story about the last Fofão, one of the most popular characters of Carnaval in Maranhão state, as a metaphor for the oblivion Latin American traditions fall into. 

Panorando Cia e Produtora is a performance collective interested in the intersections between cultural expressions, theatrical performance, and dance. Established in 2016, it brings together alumni of different art courses from Manaus, holding events and shows including As Cores da América Latina [The Colors of Latin America], awarded the 34th Shell Theater Prize in the category National Highlight. The group has shown its work in several Brazilian states, including Amazonas, Rondônia, Pará, Pernambuco, Ceará, Minas Gerais, and Mato Grosso.
