In growing South-South relations, JOMBA! is extremely happy to kickstart what we hope is a long-term relationship with Brazil’s PANORAMA FESTIVAL. This shared digital dance ‘moment’ is a significant step in what we hope becomes further exchanges and sharing.

ÈDÀ is a dance video with performance scenes recorded throughout the territory of Maré. Seven artists, residents of Maré and other communities come together during the pandemic to pulsate and weave dance as breath and hope. The project is conceived and developed collectively by the artists themselves: beings affected by environmental pollution, and by all the complexity that is experienced in the favelas of Maré.
Founded in 1992 by Lia Rodrigues, the Panorama Festival aims to create a space for experimentation, innovation, and dissemination of contemporary dance and performing arts in Brazil. The festival’s proposal is to bring works by national and international artists to the Brazilian audience, promoting cultural exchanges and stimulating dialogue between different artistic languages and education. In its three decades of existence, Panorama is recognized as an important platform for contemporary dance and performing arts in Brazil, attracting both renowned artists and emerging talents.
For the 25th Jomba! The Panorama presents two out of five works created by young artists from Rio de Janeiro and co-produced by the festival for the Jangada edition in 2021: Elegbará seeks another landscape in Rio de Janeiro to present an ephemeral and visceral dance. ÈDÀ is a breath of hope for those who survive the movements of Maré, a collective project affected by the complexity of the favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
