For more than 30 years Grupo Corpo has astounded audiences, and on their triumphant return, they bring two pieces to Harbourfront Centre, the Toronto premiere of Breu and their celebrated partnership with Philip Glass in 7 or 8 Pieces for a Ballet. Each performance highlights the group’s intense physicality and dramatic visual flair at Harbourfront Centre’s Fleck Dance Theatre, Tuesday March 24 through Saturday March 28.
A vibrant blend of graceful ballet and physical modern dance, Breu and Seven or Eight Pieces for a Ballet affirm that Grupo Corpo continues to be one of the most imaginative and exhilarating dance troupes in the world.
Breu (2007) features a haunting original score by multiple Latin Grammy-winner Lenine, and showcases some of the troupe’s most aggressive and confrontational choreography to date. Infused with polyrhythms of Latin and African dance, Breu is a poetic reflection on the violent forces that persist around the world.
The masterpiece 7 or 8 Pieces for a Ballet (1994), is based on eight themes written by the illustrious and incomparable American composer Philip Glass for the renowned Brazilian instrumental ensemble Uakti. The dancer’s actions appear as a series of sketches, annotations or studies for choreography. Movements come in variations, from “dirty” aesthetics resembling rehearsals, to those of a pristine final result.
Eu sou suspeitissima para falar, mas eu acho que mesmo quem nao eh muito ligado em danca vai gostar do espetaculo. Os ingressos, pelo visto, estao vendendo super rapido. HB e eu iremos na terca-feira (24 de marco), foi complicado conseguir bons lugares. :) Ja avisei o HB (que BTW nao entende nada de danca moderna/contemporanea ou danca de qq outro tipo) que eh para simplesmente concordar com qualquer comentario que eu faca como se ele tivesse ideia do que eu estou falando.
Ah, sim, outra coisa: nao estou divulgando pelo fato de o grupo ser brasileiro, mas sim pelo fato de que sao realmente bons e o espetaculo promete.
Eh isso.
