THE SNOW QUEEN - 1996

CARPET - 1995

Miranda in a ambitious synthesis of expression situated in the crossroads

sentimentalism. From the beginning I hold my eyes wet". SIMONE

About
DISORDER - TEATRO MUNICIPAL DO RIO DE JANEIRO - 1992
"DISORDER
came to prove we can believe in a viability of a concert that is
intentionally aesthetically chaotic... It deconstructs the classical
temple to the point of opening on the stage an abyssal hole full
of iron structures and to construct high towers and inclinations
where the actors and dancers must work". PROGRAM
MAGAZINE - March 26, 1992
About
THE DIVINE COMEDY - MUSEUM OF MODERN ART OF RIO DE JANEIRO
- 1991
"The
DIVINE COMEDY" introduced Paradise on the theater scene. Thousands
of people fighting to get a ticket as if it was a Rock Show, and
the Museum of Modern Art becoming again the main cultural place
and example for the rest of the country". FOLHA
DE SO PAULO - May 24, 1991
"DIVINE
COMEDY" brings the audience into ecstasy in Rio. A meteoric success,
an extraordinary trip. The most beautiful dance work in Rio". FOLHA
DE SO PAULO - May 21, 1991
"The
public walks trough Purgatory, Heaven and Hell in a completely new
unique theatrical experience in Brazil". JORNAL
DO BRASIL - May 12, 1991
"The
perfect performance of the Actors Dancers Company transmits very
intense image of the three phases." LTIMA
HORA - May 17, 1991
When
it was announced that the Actors Dancers Company of Regina Miranda
de Janeiro was to present a version to the DIVINE COMEDY at the
Museum of Modern Art, one shuddered at the audacity of the project.
Those who knew Regina Miranda, the companys director and dance
coordinator of the Museum, were cautious. Miranda was far too intelligent
to try to choreograph Dantes work per se, but she was nonetheless
successful in evoking the atmosphere of the epic poem... DIVINE
COMEDY was a happening, a work that because of its unusual nature
will probably never be repeated. But it shows a new Miranda, full
of vision and directorial skills to match her considerable choreographic
talents." DANCE MAGAZINE - November 1991
About

PAULO
-

"This
work represents one more step in a ever ascending career expressing
intelligence at work. Mixing theater and dance Mrs. Miranda achieves
moments of great lyricism and violence". O
GLOBO - July 21, 1989
"The
actors and dancers of Regina Miranda, with this LIFE RISK have many
moments of authentic creativity and intelligent scene solutions.
A difficult and serious work, with no concessions, where the dance
demands meditation from the audience. DANCE

About
the film OPERA DO MALANDRO - 1986
"On
the OPERA DO MALANDRO a film by Ruy Guerra - 1985 and lyrics by
Chico Buarque de Hollanda two things are impressive in the film:
the choreography and the music, both coming from the action needs".
ESTADO DE SO PAULO - May
16, 1986
"On
the whole, 250 people between actors, dancers, "samba passistas",
acrobats and "capoeira players" dance through the hands of Regina,
she made the option of giving to her choreography a style linked
to the popular and ballroom Brazilian dances, with no submissions
to American patterns. The result is brilliant, beautiful to see
and stimulates dancing and singing" AFINAL
- December 30, 1986
"The
best is mainly the choreography, away from the American style. It
captures the Brazilian rhythms. Red samba on a flamenco atmosphere.
Straight column and bouncing hips. Tango saignant ! Bon !" LIBRATION
- July 03, 1986
"Some
dance scenes are really modern classics! The ballet of two women
filmed from the top is unforgettable and also the marriage tango.
Everything has an exceptional precision." LA
CROIX - July 03, 1986
"The
choreography of songs like "My beloved", capable of provoking envy
on Carlos Saura and Antonio Gades, "The Defiance of the Malandro",
deserves the most enthusiastic applause from the public." JORNAL
DO BRASIL - December 24, 1986
