Presentation/Mini-bio:

Born in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, he began a graduation in Education at the Federal University of Pernambuco, in 2014, that was dropped after he decided to dedicate himself entirely to the performance artes. In 2017 he became interested in the cyr wheel and began training by himself. Searching for this king of education, he went to Portugal to enroll at the INAC (National Institute of Circus Art) and, during the course, he had the opportunity to take part on circus festivals such as the Vaudeville Rendez-Vous and the Cúpula, in Portugal, the Eucima and the TAC, in Spain, and Circa, in France. In 2020, he graduated launching the show “iron to rust” at the Casa das Artes de Famalicão and, right after, he took part on the project Crece with the act “Alejandra”, presented on the Teatro Circo Price, in Madrid. Besides carrying on the development of his research, now he is a member of the teaching body of the ACE (Academia Contemporânea do Espetáculo) - Famalicão.

About his work:

ferro à f e r r u g e m

The project “ferro à ferrugem” began to take shape from a research on the cyr wheel, which is the circus apparel that is the centerpiece of the show. This research peaked on the discovery of a new form: a wave, similar to a spiral curve. Comparing this deconstructed wheel with a recently bought one a contrast was observed: the circular apparel, white and whole, opposed itself to the spiral apparel, gray and distorted. Thus, the work was developed over this contrast between two apparels that highlight such distinct moments of life, with the objective of making a reflection on the process of aging, immanent of all existences. The metaphor with the rust came as a reference to the apparel’s metallic material itself as well as to this process of natural oxidation that happens through the passing of time. Under this rust metaphor and using the circus language and the dance one, this act evokes images on transformation, aging and memory.
