Malevo
Freesheet
MALEVO, created by director, choreographer, and dancer Matías Jaime is a journey into the Argentine sentiment.
The Malambo (traditional Argentine dance of virility and skill) is his main resource, starting from the essence but taking it beyond its own limits with a modern, avant-garde and transgressive vision, merging it with other dance styles like flamenco and urban percussion.
The force and energy of the malambo with the use of drums, boleadoras and zapateo awakens the senses and leaves the adrenaline running high, transmitting the essence of the gaucho of La Pampa, providing spectators with a totally innovative visual and sensory experience.
It is Matias Jaime’s life mission, and vision for Malevo to preserve the traditional roots of Malambo by bringing it into the future through evolving, modernizing it and putting it into a proscenium setting, making it appealing for today’s audiences.
Malevo presents a living and breathing modern day interpretation of the traditional with respect for the past and excitement for the future. For all of the artists of Malevo, Malambo is lifestyle, and their heritage cultural identity that they share with pride and happiness with audiences around the world.
The company has had many international successes including shows and performances in Las Vegas, New York, Paris, Cairo, St Petersburg, London, Arabia, Qatar, USA, Japan and Montreal, as a participation creating Malambo choreographies for Latin pop-star Ricky Martin , performance for Cirque du Soleil, a year-long residency at Universal Studios Japan and making it to semi-finalists on the hit TV show – America’s Got Talent.
Malevo is all energy, passion and pure feeling running high. It is the perfect combination of originality and excellence, it is a wild beast with a warrior instinct and elegant.
