Grupo Corpo: Parabelo, Sem mim

About the Event

This electrifying Brazilian dance company captivates with stunning, sexy physicality, dynamic ability and rich visual flair. Grupo Corpo creates a vibrant and seamless blend of ballet grace, modern dance verve, and the hip‐swivelling exuberance of Carnival sambas and their Afro‐Brazilian roots.

Founded in 1975, the Brazilian contemporary dance company Grupo Corpo and choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras have attracted high praise from both critics and audiences for colourfully reinventing classical ballet as an exuberant and rhythmic dance form, infused with Brazilian dance rhythms.

“Grupo Corpo’s unashamed mission seems to tempt the rhythm of life out of us all.” (The Guardian, UK)
