Brazilian choreographer Deborah  Colker delivers a powerful work blending elements of contemporary, classical and traditional dance. Based on the poem Cão Sem Plumas (“dog without feathers”) by Brazilian writer João Cabral de  Melo Neto and enhanced by the striking images of filmmaker Cláudio  Assis, this show portrays on stage the course of the Capibaribe River, where the natural habitat and the local population are threatened.

Performed by 14 dancers of astonishing physicality, the choreography interweaves classical, contemporary, popular and ritual dances, set against black and white projections captured during a journey where the dance company immersed itself in the world of the Capibaribe, its mangroves and its inhabitants.
