Gil Refazendo and Gira

The historic Brazilian dance theatre company Grupo Corpo share their works Gil Refazendo and Gira in one impactful evening. Led by duo Paulo & Rodrigo Pederneiras, and with over 40 choreographies, this contemporary company has performed all over the world sharing their rhythmic, modern, cerebral, and distinct cultural works.

Gil Refazendo is set to and inspired by the music of one of the godfathers of Brazilian music, Gilberto Gil and encapsulates essences of renewing, rebuilding, revising, reviving, and remaking. Gira responds to the universe of Afro-Brazilian religions—re(constructing) the powerful glossary of gestures and movement accessed from the religions and ceremonies.
