Bruno Beltrao/Grupo de Rua – New Creation

UK Premiere. Bruno Beltrao, celebrated Brazilian choreographer brings his new work to London. It’s hip hop but not as you expect! Beltrão has revolutionized the genre, deconstructing the dance form as he grapples with the changing politics of his native Brazil. Expect high jumps, head spins, summersaults, fast kicks and twirling twists. His intense choreography with Grupo de Rua is characterized by physical urgency and an analytic understanding of music and space. Responding to the radical shift to the right, he ponders what happens when a political scene creates disharmony, polarises the people and limits freedom and equality. The artistic community provides glimmers of creative resistance and uses art to drive change.
