Utopia, María Pagés’ latest show, is an artistic and ethical research on nonconformity and yearning. A piece that deals with solidarity, commitment, exile, the fleetingness of Life, the littleness of Man in a cosmos that is indifferent to his miseries and greatness and – now more necessary than ever – the need for imagination and idealism as the necessary motors of change. Flamenco dance, staged in a scenario inspired by the curved lines of Oscar Niemayer’s drawings, music written specifically for the show and played live (including a samba called Tranquilo com a vida composed by Oscar himself and sung by the singer-songwriter Fred Martins), are the hallmarks of this latest creation by the Maria Pagés Dance Company.
