“The overtly seductive charms and virtuosity of Grupo Corpo have long been recognized by the public. […] And rightfully so. With its perfectly spiced classical-contemporary style, Grupo Corpo combines gale-force power with flawless choreographic structure.” (Le Monde)
Ambassadors par excellence of contemporary Brazilian dance, Grupo Corpo is back in Montreal! Eagerly awaited by its legions of fans, the company will present a double bill—a double dose of pleasure—contrived by Rodrigo Pederneiras. The troupe’s resident choreographer since 1978, Pederneiras owes his international success to his unique style: “a fusion of Brazilian dance—with its swaying rhythms and hybrid influences—and neoclassical dance” (Le Figaro). The company’s remarkably polished craftsmanship and the magnetism of its dancers make each performance a voyage of discovery, of rediscovery.
