CIGARRA & Guerreiras Nessa Arte Showcase

CIGARRA & Guerreiras Nessa Arte
ABADÁ-SF RETURNS TO THE STAGE FOR A SNEAK PEEK PERFORMANCE!
Join us on March 2 at our San Francisco studio for a sneak peek of our upcoming multidimensional show, CIGARRA & Guerreiras Nessa Arte. This show, directed by Artistic Director Márcia Treidler “Mestra Cigarra”, illuminates the stories of women in Afro-Brazilian traditions, including Márcia’s legendary role in Capoeira.

Presented at ABADÁ-Capoeira SF Arts Center, this performance offers an intimate viewing experience that showcases snippets of what will be presented in May 2024 at Z-Space. After the performance, Márcia and the artists will answer questions during an artist Q&A session. Join us for this exciting preview of our upcoming show!

CIGARRA & Guerreiras Nessa Arte will be presented by ACSF’s Performance Company with special guest artists, including Mestranda Yara, Professor Côco, and others.

Mestra Cigarra has been collaborating with Claudia Escobar, a filmmaker who shares stories of migration, artists, and cultural makers, to create a narrative and video that will be woven into the performance. In 2023, Escobar traveled with Mestra to Brazil to interview culture-bearers on video and collect other footage for the performance.

Don’t miss this sneak peek of our larger production to be staged May 3 – 5, 2024, at Z-Space in San Francisco.

CIGARRA & Guerreiras Nessa Arte showcase and staged performances are made possible with the generous support of the Hewlett 50 Artist Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts, and SF Grants for the Arts.
