Marcelo Evelin, Ai, Ai, Ai - Lafayette Anticipations © Marc Domage

Ai, Ai, Ai is a self-portrait tinged with irony, a poetic journey to the emotional roots of the Brazilian choreographer who has been away from his country for a long time.

A highly personal solo, conceived from a process of investigation of the body itself, between the present moment and memory. The ambiguous title refers both to the singer Carmen Miranda and to the tears of the dancer who has been exiled for many years.
It is also a sharing of memories with his partner at the time, John Murphy, and the filmmaker Karim Aïnouz - whose memory permeates the work.
Twenty-six years after its creation, Marcelo Evelin re-enacts this founding solo and confronts his past once again.
