Bate Fado
Jonas&Lander
Creating a performance for the first time at the Théâtre de Liège, the Portuguese choreographers Jonas&Lander invite you on a journey, in the sunny, warm and intoxicating streets of Lisbon in the 19th century, when the Fado – which has today become a global music genre – was still associated with its own dance, inspired by the virtuoso, frenetic rhythm of tap dancing, the fado batido.
With four dancers, a fado singer and four musicians, BATE FADO is designed as a hybrid performance, the perfect fusion between a dance show and a real concert, as the magical moment when one would no longer just play the fado, one would dance it; a dance indissociable from the music, a dance in constant dialogue with voices, percussion and guitar, a dance that would give the fado back some of what it lost all too long ago: the joy of movement!
