"A spicy, simmering stew of Brazil's African, Arabic, and European influences." -- The Times, LondonThe 19-member Grupo Corpo, Brazil's most popular contemporary dance ensemble, constructs adventurous feasts for the senses. Its compelling style grafts the pliancy of modern dance and rhythmic complexity of Afro-Brazilian dance onto ballet. Longtime leaders of Brazil's fertile contemporary dance scene, brothers Paulo and Rodrigo Pederneiras (artistic director and choreographer, respectively) pair this gorgeous hybrid with new sounds in Brazilian music by art-pop composer Arnaldo Antunes.
