Brasileiro, nascido em 1972 na cidade de Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, Wagner Schwartz mora entre São Paulo e Paris. Experienciou a música, o sistema coercitivo religioso, o teatro e o samba durante seus primeiros 20 anos. Iniciou seus projetos de dança em acordo com a literatura e suas escolas observando, esteticamente, as condições de operação da palavra e de seus símbolos. Os projetos de Wagner seguem a reviravolta conceitual da dança, problematizando as relações artísticas e seu percurso. Seu trabalho tem sido atravessado pelo tema da migração como uma forma de complexificar as figuras híbridas da Cultura Brasileira enquanto forma artística ou herança colonial.
Brazilian (despite his misleading name), Wagner Schwartz was born in 1972, in Rio de Janeiro. He is being based in Paris and Sao Paulo. He spent the first twenty years of his life in Rio amid the conflicting influences of the music, the coercive religious system, the theatre and the samba. He studied Brazilian literature and experienced contemporary dance based on literature political process and its aesthetic expressions. Schwartz projects follow the conceptual upheaval-taking place in the realm of dance, problematizing artistic relations and its route. His work is crossed with the theme of migration as a way to complexify the hybrid figures of Brazilian Culture or as forms of art, or as colonial heritage.
