De quando um Onnagata - ator do Teatro Kabuki que apenas performa papeis femininos - encontra Carmem Miranda. Bombastica vem de Bombshell, a "concha da bomba" no pais da bomba, e também porque era assim que a pequena notavel Carmem Miranda era conhecida em Hollywood, o atual paraíso Trump.

Uma performance sobre alojar um outro estranhamente dentro do corpo, sobre Crossgender, Crossculture, sobre Exoticismo e Glamour, sobre requebrado Japones, remelexo Brasileiro, sobre ser, querer ser, poder ser, merecer ser simplesmente Queer.

Uma colaboração entre Marcelo Evelin e o dançarino de danças tradicionais Japonesas Atsushi Heki, com visuals by Mio Heki.

Carmem Miranda and Onnagata (male actor in female roles)

We are dreaming that the woman we have created is a blend of all of humanity in one. Distance, history, time: none of it matters anymore when all becomes one.

'bombástica' means BOMBSHELL.

She will be called be given this name by the world, because she will become a sensation, because she will become a star.

Where roads and people cross, a fusion brings all back to one.

The 'scramble' crossing is overflowing, with streams of people coming and going.

This piece is a new creation by Marcelo Evelin & Atsushi Heki, for the sake of bringing about new world.
