3-19 Dance Art Presents BEWITCHED WRITING
By: Stephi Wild Aug. 26, 2019
3-19 DANCE ART WHERE MAGICAL REALISM MEETS DANCE is proud to be presenting BEWITCHED WRITING, honoring the life of Nobel prize winner and Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
3-19 Dance Art will take you through a magical journey with it's production of "Bewitched Writing" A dance poem, a dance tribute to the man responsible for Magical Realism.
It all began with the dream of bringing Gabo's life to the stage, and sharing his life with the audience. The majority of people know about Gabo's literary work but very few know of his personal life, his struggles and his melancholy, says Beatriz Eugenia Vasquez Colombian Choreographer/dancer and the director of 3-19 Dance Art. Beatriz says 3-19 Dance Art was born out of the Magical Realism style of story telling under which she grew up, the real and the unreal, the natural and supernatural all intertwined together.
Bewitched writing with it's stellar cast of 12 performers, all of different ethnicities, Filipinos, African American, Mexicans, Salvadorans, Colombian, Italian, African American, French, Belizean, Jewish American and Guatemalan, with different disciplines under their belt from Classical dance, to martial arts, singing, and acting come together to honor GABO, his life and his literary life. All under the exquisite musical score of French composer Laurent Eyquem, to tell Gabo's story the music needed to be sublime, emotional and rhythmic just like his life, full of emotions, longings and melancholies. So it was only fitting that Mr. Eyquem with his distinctive voice and uniquely memorable themes would be the one. Laurent Eyquem is one of the most talked-about talents to arrive on the film music scene in recent years. Eyquem is the recipient of the much-coveted 2018 Public Choice Award from the World Soundtrack Awards.
