Witness Capoeira’s spellbinding ritual unfold as Mestra Cigarra shares her pathbreaking ascent through the art’s male-dominated ranks, and the stories of those who’ve inherited her legacy, through dance, film, and martial arts. See guest artists from Brazil, and the ABADÁ-Capoeira San Francisco Performance Company embody her lineage through Capoeira and the traditional music and dances of maculelê, jongo, and samba de roda.
