ASU Gammage presents GRUPO DE RUA (Tempe)
October 12 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm MST
$25GRUPO DE RUA
It’s hip hop but not as you expect! Beltrão has revolutionized the genre, deconstructing the dance form as he grapples with the changing politics of his native Brazil. Expect high jumps, head spins, somersaults, fast kicks and twirling twists. His intense choreography with GRUPO DE RUA is characterized by physical urgency and an analytic understanding of music and space.
Responding to the radical shift to the right, he ponders what happens when a political scene creates disharmony, polarizes the people and limits freedom and equality. The artistic community provides glimmers of creative resistance and uses art to drive change.
His previous work “Inoah”, was an eye-popping, jaw-dropping, gravity-defying blitz of artistic brilliance. He combines sophisticated stage craft with contemporary dance and raw hip-hop which casts a spell over audiences worldwide.
