Dancer
Mariana Tembe was born in Maputo, Mozambique, 34 years ago. In 2006, she started her training in contemporary dance within a project called (In)Dependence, run by CulturArte. There, she danced with choreographer Panaibra Canda (Mozambique), Martial Chazalon (France), Martin Champaut (Canada), Boyzie Cekwana (South Africa) and Carlos Pez (Spain). In 2019, she joined the dance company Dançando com a Diferença, which led her to move to Madeira Island, Portugal. She stepped on stage for the first time 16 years ago and it was then that she chose to dance. Shows such as Mal - Embriaguez Divina, by Marlene Monteiro Freitas, and Solo for Maria, by Panaibra Gabriel Canda, have led her to perform all over the world.
Tembe is the eight guest for the program A Collection for Tomorrow - Lisbon | Maputo.
