ABOUT THE EVENT

Enjoy a brilliant perfomance by Grupo Corpo, the most important dance company of Brazil, at the Gran Teatre del Liceu on Barcelona´s famed avenue Las Ramblas.

Grupo Corpo, founded in 1975, has become Brazil's foremost dance troupe thanks to the unique language honed by its choreographer and director Rodrigo Pederneiras, which combines classical technique with a contemporary re-reading of Brazilian popular dance. For its first visit to the Liceu the company has chosen two titles from its extensive repertory, both created in the 1990s when it was the resident company of the Maison de la Danse in Lyon: Bach and Parabelo.

The former blends the Baroque architecture of Bach's music with that of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Marco Antonio Guimarães has used the German composer's works to create a score that provides the framework for some very lively and physically strenuous dancing. In Parabelo, where these same abilities are put to good use, composers Tom Zé and Zé Miguel Wisnik have woven the rhythmic patterns of music from Bahia into a backcloth of sound to support mature, extroverted expressive movements which, when appropriate, become unabashedly joyful and explosive.
