Feet on the Ground - Touring 10-11-12

Viver Brasil’s Feet on the Ground takes audiences for an inspiring cultural journey through Brazil, featuring a dazzling program of African orixás (deities), ceremonial celebrations, the Brazilian martial arts/dance form of capoeira, and Carnaval. The performance showcases exhilarating Afro-Brazilian traditional and contemporary movement, stunning costumes, and pulsating percussion and voice.

Feet on the Ground features a program comprised of “Avanhia”, a ceremonial meditation on the forces of nature; “The Three Wives of Xangô”, an epic love story between deities; “Alaafia”, a tribute to harmonious living; “Samba de Caboclo/Roots Wild”, an homage to Brazil’s indigenous people and their spirits; “In Motion”, incorporating Samba de Roda, Capoeira and modern dance; and “Onile’s Smiling Daughters/Tribute to Carnaval Queens”, a rousing finale, with ecstatic solo and group Samba Reggae, all performed to sensual and thunderous Surdo beats. Audiences will be intoxicated, feel the earth tremble, and exit the theater as jubilant witnesses.
