Encantado

Nov 8—Nov 9, 2022

US Premiere

Created and choreographed by Lia Rodrigues

BAM DEBUT

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro’s Favela de la Maré, Lia Rodrigues and her company summon spirits of healing—the encantados—in a jubilant new dance piece that seeks to re-enchant the world and the body. A hundred colored blankets transform the stage, and then the dancers begin their own metamorphoses. A vibrant soundtrack of songs by Brazil’s Mbyá Guaraní people, recorded during a demonstration for land recognition, underscores the ever-present link in Rodrigues’ work between the evocative and the political. Out of stillness, color, and form, Encantado builds to a carnivalesque crescendo of shape-shifting freedom.

The celebrated Brazilian choreographer makes her New York debut at BAM, following performances of Furia at PEAK Performances @ Montclair State University, as part of a long-overdue introduction of her work across the US.
