Grupo Corpo - Parabelo/Onqoto
Work:: Grupo Corpo (S01375907176)
Brazilian Dance Company founded in 1975 by Paulo Pederneiras. Grupo Corpo's virtuosic 22 dancers combine the precision of classical ballet with the sensuality and passion of Latin dance rhythms. Grupo Corpo translates as Group Body, reflecting the movement style of the dancers, who co-ordinate to fill the stage with unmatched energy and excitement.
Production:: Parabelo/Onqoto (T1869670524)
Parabelo - Carnival comes to the Festival in a performance of seductive physicality. The Grupo Corpo dancers stamp their feet and sway their hips with snake-like fluidity in this ravishing creation straight off the white sandy beaches of Rio.
Onqoto - A soundtrack of driving Latin funk provides the musical backdrop for an eccentric debate over the paternity of the universe. It's a curious competition between the idea of a great primordial explosion and a witty notion that the cosmos was conceived as a weird form of rivalry between Rio's two main football teams.
