Bruno Beltrão/Grupo de Rua
BAM DEBUT
This is dance you won’t be able to shake from your bones. Street style meets athletic hip-hop in Brazilian choreographer Bruno Beltrão’s intoxicating, heart-stopping, gravity-defying experiment. With almost weightless physicality, the 10 male dancers of Grupo de Rua break, hover, and catapult across the stage in a visceral display of tension and release, their bodies propelled in a plea for freedom.

In this wildly delirious new work, Cape Verdean-born, Lisbon-based choreographer and performance artist Marlene Monteiro Freitas dares you to traverse the order and wild chaos of Euripides.
Set inside barber shops in six different cities, playwright Inua Ellams weaves a rich, joyful tapestry of unfiltered stories about father-son relationships and black masculinity, set to an Afrobeat score.
