São Paulo Dance Company

dos SANTOS, Alex Soares' first work for São Paulo Dance Company, is inspired by a Colonial Brazilian song called "Matais de Incêndio," a simple and joyful song associated with religious festivities—the author of which is unknown and dates back to around 1700. According to the choreographer, "the work references one of the most popular surnames of religious origin in Brazil." dos SANTOS moves, intersects, and questions identities that over time have helped shape our rich and diverse culture.
