History of Site and Related Water Issues:
The Parque Ecológico Hermógenes Leitão Filho was a park built around a lake that is made up of small affluent streams from the region of the Barao Geraldo neighbourhood and the city of Campinas. The park was inaugurated in 1996 and named after a professor of the University of Campinas (which sits just beside the park) who was an active environmentalist. The park has been serving the local population of the Barao Geraldo neighbourhood who lack options of being closer to local natural resources and places to have a nice and safe place for leisure.
Music:
Musical direction: Yan Matheys de Moura Machado.
The music that will accompany the local dances (part 1 and 2) will be arranged done by the actors-dancers themselves in a combination of voices/singing and accompanying instruments.
The Performance:
The performance is planned to happen around the lake, going through the entire extension of its surrounding course (1.800 meters), following the theme “the waters always meet”. The audience will meet at the entrance of the park and will follow the flow enacted by the performers.
