Wagner Schwartz

He was born in Volta Redonda, in the State of Rio de Janeiro.[1] He began his studies of popular music and drama in the public schools of Volta Redonda. Later, at the Federal University of Uberlândia,[2] Wagner studied modernist literature and art, which influences his approach to choreography, receiving the award of the Art Foundation Itau Cultural in 2000-2001, 2003-2004, 2009–2010, 2014.[3] In 2005 and 2009 he collaborated with the choreographer Rachid Ouramdane in Cover,[4] Des témoins ordinaires,[5] working, during those years, in Paris, Sao Paulo and Berlin.[6] In 2017, his performance La Bête sparked controversy in Brazil and abroad, when naked, Wagner was touched on the foot by a child of approximately four years of age in the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art.[7] Currently, he resides in Sao Paulo and Paris.[8]
