CIGARRA e Guerreiras Nessa Arte

Join ABADÁ-Capoeira San Francisco (ACSF) and Artistic Director “Mestra Cigarra” for a preview performance of CIGARRA e Guerreiras Nessa Arte – a multidimensional performance that creatively presents stories of women in Afro-Brazilian traditions, including Márcia’s legendary role in Capoeira. Joining Mestra Cigarra in her creative development of the project is Claudia Escobar, a self-described “Latin visual storyteller” who uses photography, journalism, illustration, and film to create and share stories of migration, artists, and cultural makers.

The showcase provides a sneak peek of our larger production to be staged May 3 to 5, 2024 at Z-Space. Presented at ACSF’s Capoeira Arts Center, the preview performance is an up-close and intimate viewing experience, sharing snippets of what will be presented in May.
