El Portal Theatre Body Mind & Soul of ART
“Body, Mind & Soul of  ART” is an “Art Unplugged Show”. An exploration of the Realism and the Avant-garde; a Live Theatre Evolution; a fusion of cultures, music, dance, art, fashion, photograph, film and poetry. "Body, Mind & Soul of ART" is the first show in the MAAP series.

Conceived and produced by Emmy Nominated Choreographer ALEXANDRE MAGNO, who is most know for his highly acclaimed work with MADONNA, YANNI, JENNIFER LOPEZ, SYTYCD, DWTS, BENISE, NEODANCE, THE OSCARS, BALLET HISPANICO and more …

“MAAP” was  conceived to provide a creative platform for artists and performers bound by the commercial demands of Hollywood. Under Magno's uncanny vision and ability to mix ART, MUSIC, DRAMA and DANCE in a timeless, unique, provocative commercial and viable way.

The show will  feature Magno’s choreography, and the participation and collaboration of guest artists (including singers, musicians, dancers, actors and choreographers).

“Body, Mind & Soul of  ART” will consist of approximately one hour and 15 minutes, divided into three 25 minute segments, plus an additional 15 minute intermission. The show will be based on the trinity of man, Body, Mind and Soul; each segment incorporates and highlights the different layers of ART.

ACT 1 (The Body/The Dancer) 
Inspired by the black and white keys of a Piano, we use this as a visual metaphor to illustrate the synergy of opposite forces. Even though the keys are different in color and tonalities, both keys need each other to create the perfect MUSIC, the perfect HARMONY, and so it is in LIFE; The Sun and The Moon, Love and Hate, The Yin and the Yan …). Following this segment, we move into a loosely conceived chess-game; the game of live, the game of seduction …

ACT 2 (The Mind/The Musician)
The core of this segment will highlight MUSIC in it’s pure form, the ancient cry of the gods, the marriage of Heaven and Earth (classical music with African rhythms), featuring music (performance solos, duos, trios), echoed by small dance vignettes which embody MUSIC.   

ACT 3 (The Soul/The Singer) Multiple Colors (The Rainbow)
This section opens with a homage to 3 different iconic Italian songs (“Un Bacio É Troppo Poco” by Antonio Amurri and Brunno Canfora, “Dio Come Ti Amo" by Domenico Modugno, and "Carusso" by Lucio Dalla), sung in 3 different languages; Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.  Lyrics, Melodies, and Poetry are used to alchemize and elevate our energy into hight level, igniting the soul, into a big Latin finale production number (celebrating life), bringing the trinity of man together (Body, Mind and Soul).
