Horacio
MACUACUA
The Mozambican dancer and choreographer is the artistic director of the dance
company which bears his name. Horacio Macuacua develops projects that aim to
go beyond established forms. Flexibility of mind and availability to catch the
moment translate movement instantly into compositions that are complex and
elaborated, displaying depth and playfulness, darkness and light. Each
composition is a journey to reinvent and transform within the parameters of
meaning.
He has carried out his projects: COMUM, Canais, Orobroy, Stop! (1st Prize and
Puma Creative Prize at Danse l’Afrique Danse Festival 2010), Smile If You Can!,
Fighting room, Convoy, Paradise is not in the sky!, Theka, Birds don’t just fly!
And Un Baile.
