Nova Criação
Event
How can we stay in motion when a country’s socio-political situation seems to put everything on hold, when persecution and hatred seem to divide, to suffocate freedom and solidarity, equality and democracy? A new resistance is gradually emerging within the Brazilian artistic scene after Jair Bolsonaro took office. Bruno Beltrão was not surprised by the radical turn to the right-wing in Brazil and elsewhere. His previous work, Inoah, already seemed to mediate unbreakable conflicts and violent social contradictions in a nearly supplicant fashion, like a street battle between encounter and confrontation. Beltrão revolutionised hip-hop, balancing street dance styles and attitudes and the foundations of contemporary dance. His intense choreographies with Grupo de Rua stand out for their physical strength and analytical understanding of music and space.
