The director and founder of Quasar Cia, a talented choreographer, wrote this letter to my daughter Sofia.

Handwritten letter from Brazilian choreographer Henrique Rodovalho of Quasar Dance Company to Sofia. In Portuguese. One page. 29.8 cm x 21 cm. September 2010.

Henrique Rodovalho (born in 1964), one of the most respected professionals in the field in Brazil, is the author of the 23 contemporary pieces presented by the Quasar Dance Company. He is a winner of the Mambembe Award – which aims to distinguish the best shows in the Rio-São Paulo axis – and the Choreographic Composition Award in Mexico. With a background in Martial Arts and Physical Education, he worked as an actor and dancer before becoming a choreographer.

Quasar Dance Company is one of the most renowned Brazilian contemporary dance companies. Founded in 1988 by Henrique Rodovalho, the company attracted interest abroad, especially in Europe and the United States, even before becoming known in Brazil. Recognition in Brazil began with the irreverent show Registro (1997), during the Mambembe Award, when the Ministry of Culture granted Quasar five awards: best of the year in the categories of group, show, choreographer, best new dancer, and best new female dancer.

The show "To Whom It May Concern" was very rewarding, not only for the beautiful choreography, obviously, but also for the understated elegance of the dancers, the minimalist colors and lighting, the very Brazilian music, and the modern presentation, which was very interactive with the audience.

Why is this document rare?
