Information for Marco da Silva Ferreira - Carcaca at Sadler's Wells Theatre, Inner London (Dance or ballet). Marco da Silva Ferreira was a professional swimmer, prior to discovering street dance in his hometown at the age of 16. He received a degree in physiotherapy before fully dedicating himself to dance, first as a dancer and then as a choreographer from 2015. It was after winning the Portuguese version of So You Think You Can Dance that Marco moved from commercial to contemporary dance, working with acclaimed choreographers such as Hofesh Shechter. Carcaca explores tools of cultural construction through the encounter of Portuguese folk dances and contemporary street/clubbing dances. What do we want to preserve; what do we want to transform; and what do we want to forget?
