[2009]
- Through the 4th edition of Dance Promotion Program for the City of São Paulo, DESABA Association developed a research based on the hypothesis that “creation comes before project“. In order to do so, it promoted a field of actions – lectures, selective process for artistic residency, artistic residency, a blog and the production of a contemporary dance piece. All of it experienced as constitutive materials for the creation of an artistic environment that culminates in the production of TOMBO – a possible synthesis of this environment, created and danced by Cristian Duarte, Thelma Bonavita and Thiago Granato.

- TOMBO
“We can not really fly to another planet. But we can recapture the feeling of having fallen into a new world, looking at our own world in an unfamiliar way. “Richard Dawkins – Unraveling the Rainbow.
We set out to investigate how things make sense or not, when we can potentially discover something unlikely or less probable; something that promotes some bifurcation. Tombo presents itself as a field of actions that invites the viewer to approach a tactile and unstable landscape. A dance that seeks to de-automate the perception of familiar places, inciting expectations.
