Rehearsals in Rio with Mourad Merzouki and the Brazilian dancers of AGWA, who blend hip-hop, capoeira and contemporary dance with real virtuosity.
Rehearsals in Rio with Mourad Merzouki and the Brazilian dancers of AGWA, who blend hip-hop, capoeira and contemporary dance with real virtuosity. There are ten dancers aged between 17 and 25 who come from the outskirts of Rio; some have lived in favelas. All struggle to survive and come to rehearse four evenings a week. Moving confessions and interviews with these young people, for whom dance is an escape route from their turbulent lives.
