Translated as “enchanted” in the Afro-Brazilian tradition, Encantado also refers to mystical, nature-protecting entities. Lia Rodrigues calls upon these magical forces in a bewitching and many-coloured ballet.
The richly decorated fabrics covering the stage are soon sent flying by 11 entirely naked dancers. Grabbing the striped and floral-patterned covers, they disguise themselves to embody gleeful characters: a bourgeois lady in a puff dress, a squinting mermaid, an elderly man. A spell seems to have been cast upon the stage. Encantado – the word chosen by the choreographer for her latest creation – refers to magical entities that transform the places they pass through into sacred spots. And so our playful hosts also turn protective, borne by the music that the Mbyá Guaraní people sang in 2021 to the Supreme Court in Brasilia to demand protection for the lands of Amazonia. Lia Rodrigues and her company, who are based in Maré, a Rio favela, never separate art from its political import. After Furia, in which she explored a latent uprising, the choreography of this new, quasi-magical piece keeps the militant promise of defusing terror.
