Passinho, dancinha, voguing, samba, hip-hop and other urban dance styles provide the playground for Rio de Janeiro’s young generation, who want to express their longing for self-determination and freedom. In the transitional period between presidents Bolsonaro and Lula, in a country characterized by social tensions and economic inequalities, Alice Ripoll asks what these changes mean for the individual and society. In collaboration with Companhia Suave, she combines folk dances from the north and north-east of Brazil with Afro-dances and Afro-house. In “ZONA FRANCA” (free trade zone), ten performers animate the stage, dancing, singing, telling stories and playing with large balloons. The result is an impressive, energetic evening at the interface of social experience, politics and poetry that tells of the hope and spirit of optimism of a young generation. “ZONA FRANCA” creates a vision of a world in which everything can be shared, with complete openness.
