Overview
Grupo Corpo
Tuesday, February 25, 2020, 8:00pm
Presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures
Bach & Gira
Paulo Pederneiras, Artistic Director
Brazil’s leading contemporary dance troupe Grupo Corpo returns with a phenomenal double bill of two wildly different works that showcase the 21-member group’s extraordinary range. In Gira, choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras constructs a powerful glossary of gestures of praise and movement inspired by Afro-Brazilian religious rituals, set to music by the Brazilian fusion group Méta Méta. In Bach, the baroque world of J.S. Bach is made modern in a score by Marco Antônio Guimarães, with dancers in brilliant shades of gold, regal blue and black dropping from a set of enormous organ pipes. Grupo Corpo delivers a dazzling celebration of Brazil in all its diversity.
Tickets may also be available from UCSB Arts & Lectures at (805) 893-3535 or online through their website.
