Feet on the Ground - Touring 11-12-13

Viver Brasil’s Feet on the Ground takes audiences for an inspiring cultural journey through Brazil, featuring a dazzling program of African Orixás (deities), samba 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, non-stop percussion and voice. Avanhia, a ceremonial meditation on the forces of nature; Bahia-Africa-Bahia, a musical tribute to the kings of the drum; Orixás, retelling an ancient tale of Ogum, orixá of iron, who brought the elements to populate the world through riveting movement, vivid colors, and intoxicating rhythms; Identity, expresses the explosive and joyous nature of Brazilian contemporary dance; In Motion, incorporating riveting Capoeira and the sassy Samba de Roda; Bahia vs Rio, a joyful musical duet between singers from two of Brazil’s most culturally influential cities; Carnaval, a rousing finale, with ecstatic solo and group Samba Reggae, all performed to sensual and thunderous Surdo beats. Audiences will feel the earth tremble, and exit the theater as jubilant witnesses.
