Käfig Brasil

Following the huge success of Correria and Agwa in France and abroad with more than 250 performances, we wanted to continue this wonderful collaboration with these 11 Cariocan dancers.

Following the huge success of Correria and Agwa in France and abroad with almost 200 performances, we wanted to continue this wonderful collaboration with these 11 Cariocan dancers. Their desire to discover and encounter other worlds of dance led me to create a piece in which these 11 characters could meet with unique choreography styles. I invited several to contribute: Anthony Egéa, Céline Lefèvre and Denis Plassard for the French part and Octavio Nassur for the Brazilian part and of course the dancers themselves.

While Anthony Egéa uses the dancers’ natural strength and works with the body to create hybrid shapes, Céline Lefèvre brings poetry to the pieces, Denis Plassard blends genres and the language of hip-hop with the Brazilian color brought by Octavio Nassur, the show will reveal other worlds.

I am the artistic director of this event of five short modules, and provide a common theme linking these artistic relationships.
