DanceHouse is pleased to present Brazil’s Companhia Urbana de Dança at the Vancouver Playhouse, where they will perform two pieces.
April 1 and 2, 2016, 8 pm
600 Hamilton St, Vancouver
With creations ID: Entidades and Na Pista, artistic director and choreographer Sonia Destri Lie has created a new genre that fuses hip-hop, samba, capoeira, and contemporary dance.
ID: Entidades was inspired by the life stories of the company’s dancers, and Na Pista explores the joyful influence of pop culture and sizzling social dance.
The performances will see eight Brazilian dancers execute solos and group movement, set to scores by Brazilian composer Rodrigo Marçal.
Alternately mesmerizing and rippling with adrenaline and raw energy, these two works promise to bring DanceHouse’s 2015–16 season to a stunning close.
