Brazilian dance-theater artist Lia Rodrigues, celebrated for her clear-eyed examination of her country's culture, has been a fearless leader of contemporary dance in Rio de Janeiro since 1990. Such Stuff As We Are Made Of is an immersive experience that celebrates the naked human body as both a work of sculptural beauty and a vessel for complex spiritual, political, and emotional desires. This striking work combines the cultural cannibalism and irreverent political commitment of the 1960s/1970s Tropicalismo movement with the hard-edged realities of 21st-century Brazil. Contains nudity.
