With <\/span>\u201cStreet\u201d<\/b>, Brazilian choreographer Volmir Cordeiro transforms the public space into a vibrant theater, traversed by struggles and encounters.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this intense solo, created in 2015 and now emblematic of his style, he explores the many <\/span>faces of the street, accompanied live by the powerful percussion of Washington Timb\u00f3. The <\/span>street becomes a place of passage, refuge, and combat. The dancer\u2019s body carries the words of <\/span>Bertolt Brecht, responding to his poems on war.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through explosive gestures blending samba, capoeira, and urban wandering, <\/span>\u201eStreet\u201d<\/b> reveals the raw beauty of a world in motion, crossed by both pain and joy. A striking, physical, and committed piece, to be discovered the way one enters the street: without knowing what you will find, but certain to emerge changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

A repertoire of choreographic and performative pieces that question norms of gender, class, and race through radical, often frontal and collective gestures. The work is structured around three main axes:<\/span><\/p>\n
