Cast presents work at emblematic locations of the hydroelectric plant in Foz do Iguaçu
Itaipu Binacional held on Saturday, August 22, in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, a presentation of the choreography "The Song of My Jungle" to commemorate Paraguayan Folklore Day. The work by the Paraguay Tekoete Cast, which won the Popular Dances category at the Joinville Dance Festival, was performed at strategic points of the plant.
The presentation, directed by professor Cynthia Echagüe with choreography by professor Ángel Ovelar, rescues the natural and cultural wealth of Paraguay through music and dance. The work is inspired by compositions by Paraguayan musician Herminio Giménez, who used sounds of nature as a source of creation.
The narrative of the choreography recreates the song of birds, the murmur of water and the wildlife of the Paraguayan forest, culminating in an ending that symbolizes the birth of a new day. The hydroelectric plant's infrastructure and protected areas served as the setting for the performance.
The Paraguay Tekoete Cast won first place in the Popular Dances - Senior Group category at the Joinville Dance Festival in its 43rd edition, held on July 23. According to Itaipu Binacional, the initiative highlights the relationship between Paraguay's cultural and natural heritage, fundamental dimensions for the construction and preservation of national identity.
