Bale De Rua - Brazilian dance at the Barbican Theatre 21-31 May

Following sell-out performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last year the Barbican brings Balé de Rua’s thrilling dance and music spectacular to London as part of an international tour. Inspired by the urban dance movement of the favelas, the 15 dancers trace the country’s history from its African roots to contemporary Brazil. With capoeira, hip hop, break dancing, samba and Afro-Brazilian percussion Balé de Rua is an exhilarating take on the diversity and richness of Brazilian culture. Having toured worldwide, the dance company is still committed to its community dance programme back home in Uberlândia and has recently opened its own cultural centre, backed by the Brazilian Ministry of Culture.
