ABADÁ-Capoeira presents “Cigarra & Guerreiras Nessa Arte,” a multimedia celebration at ZSpace and Puccini and Wong at Mission Dolores.
Over some four decades, Márcia Treidler, known to students as Mestra Márcia and to friends as Cigarra, has spread the gospel of capoeira, the acrobatic Afro-Brazilian martial art-cum-dance tradition performed to the elastic twang of the one-string berimbau.
“It’s this explosion, there’s music and you jump and kind of fight with each other and dance,” said Escobar, who co-created “If Cities Could Dance,” the Webby Award-winning KQED video series. “There’s this whole language of movement with so much fire in it. I got seduced immediately, and was really obsessed for many years.”
Working with Jennifer Walsh in 1997, Cigarra established the ABADÁ-Capoeira San Francisco, which is where Esobar sought her out in 2004 after moving to the Bay Area. For the next decade, she trained regularly at the 22nd Street center, and in hindsight, it seems inevitable that her vocation as a filmmaker would converge with her admiration for Cigarra.
The work is dedicated to the community of Lahaina and is inspired by Wong’s experience of arriving in Maui for a vacation on the eve of Hurricane Dora’s landfall and the disastrous wildfires.
