A dancer’s life passes through the Threatre

Teatro Municipal Baltasar Dias (Funchal Theatre) will exhibit the documentary, by Claudia Varejão, entitled “No escuro do cinema descalço os sapatos” (in the darkness of the cinema, I take off my shoes). This is the result of nine months of work with the Companhia Nacional de Bailado, with a production by Terratreme Filmes, that will be staged in Funchal with the support of the city council tickets being sold at 3 euro.

This documentary developed from the goal of celebrating the 40^th anniversary of the Companhia Nacional de Bailado, in 2017. According to the director, Claudia Varejão, the documentary aims at showing “the very precise and hard day to day life of dancers, choreographers, musicians, rehearsers, seamstresses, sound and light technicians, and a vast team which allows dance to start at the rehearsing rooms, string itself along the corridors and get to the stages of the whole country. The film accompanies, on one hand, the creations, opening nights and digressions of the oldest  Companhia in Portugal, and on the other the silent and structural work developed by each of the dancers”.

The cherry on top of the cake is the fact that the Comapnhia NBacional de Bailado chose this very theatre for its anniversary show, on April 29^th.
