Brazil’s Grupo Corpo performs its Cal Performances debut with two works that showcase the dance company’s distinctive style, rooted in classical ballet but enriched by folk and popular dance. Under the artistic direction of choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras’ brother Paulo Pederneiras, the troupe’s dancers are celebrated for their athleticism, versatility, and deep respect for the connections between music and movement. The choreography in 21 is derived from the rhythmic sequences in the score by Marco Antônio Guimarães and Brazilian instrumental group Uakti. Gira (“Spin”) is inspired by the Afro-Brazilian religion Umbanda and features music by São Paulo band Metá Metá that combines ritual chanting with animal cries, bird calls, and saxophone. Note: This performance contains nudity.
