Ziriguidum et Batalha urbana

Year of production
2006

There are nine of them, all born in Rio’s biggest favelas, offering an uninhibited mix of hip-hop, capoeira, samba, electronic music and bossa nova. Nine of them in a furious search for recognition, trained and presented by Sonia Destri. Their dance – acrobatic, bursting with energy, inventiveness and sometimes violence – points up the tough guy figure they have to play to survive in the urban jungle. In this, their first, explosive trip outside Brazil, excitement all round is guaranteed.
