Founded in Belo Horizonte, Grupo Corpo has established itself as one of the major references in contemporary dance worldwide, weaving a unique language between choreographic rigor and Brazilian energy. For its fiftieth anniversary, it returns to Perpignan with two major works by its founder Rodrigo Pederneiras. Piracema is inspired by the migratory movement of fish swimming upstream, a metaphor for an artistic journey made of returns to origins and surges toward the unknown. As for Gira, an iconic piece nourished by both Afro-Brazilian rituals and the Afro-punk jazz music of the group Metá-Metá, it plunges the performers into circular and hypnotic dance.
