Zona Franca

Zona Franca

Dance company Cia. Suave from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro shows the zest for life of a young and contemporary Brazil. With ritual elements and a mix of dance styles, such as passinho, dancinha, vogue, samba and hip hop, the ultimate playing space is created, a zona franca. A feeling of freedom and expression prevails here. Anger, vulnerability, joy and the desire for freedom are passionately expressed. 

‘Zona Franca’ poses questions about self-destruction and the forces that shape us. What happens when a society chooses barbarism and war? How much freedom does a group offer? How do artistic encounters influence our lives? To what extent is it possible to choose your own path?
