Sinopse
Vagabundus is a performance in which 13 performers dance and sing old and new Mozambican songs, gospel and baroque motifs non-stop, exposing their souls and showing that when we are together we can exceed our potential. The explosive impact of the dance and voices does not need sets, elaborate costumes or lighting effects to touch the audience. The only props are possessions and objects that each performer keeps as souvenirs. The ritual steps and movements are divided into parts that are reconnected in a narrative of life; life as a constant journey of coming together and being in a group, a collective, a community. — Ídio Chichava
