Press release


"Meus Caminhos": A dance show in Luxembourg

When the curtain goes up in the Abbaye de Neumünster on the 11th and 12th of June 2010, the audience will be swept away into the world of movement, music and true emotion. Meus Caminhos, directed and choreographed by Moa Nunes, unites talented dancers who will take you along their journey through the different and sometimes quite extraordinary paths our lives can take

Meus Caminhos, the story of the choreographer Moa Nunes is not a story of words but a story channelled through the body. With the beauty of movements it releases artistic energy and conveys a multitude of emotions that will capture its audience.

Meus Caminhos, which grew from the passion to promote the art of dance, has been created to inspire its audience and to show dance with a soul. It has its roots in the personal experiences of the choreographer. As he himself puts it: "Our past makes us what we are today. We need to understand this in order to understand ourselves. And it is this understanding that helps us to go on, to grow and to find the courage to follow our dreams."

The show features seven talented dancers – of which many come from Luxembourg - and of which all are extraordinary performers with an ability to reach out and express true and real emotion.

Moa Nunes is convinced that "art gives us the ability to open our hearts, and by doing this, it gives a helping hand to the world around us". It is for this reason that the show also has a charitable purpose. A portion of the proceeds will go to Red Line Children Charity, an organisation helping vulnerable children in Brasil.
