Roots of Brazil

April 18, 2 PM, Armory Stage

Lift your spirits with the powerful rhythms and cultural arts of Brazil, where rhythm becomes language and movement carries memory. We will take you on a journey that blends together regional traditions and Afro-Brazilian forms such as Samba, Orixas dance, Samba de roda and the grounded dialogue of Capoeira Angola. Each dance emerges from histories of resistance and collective care—where the body holds what words cannot, and the drum calls people back into connection.
