Favelas of Hope Present

Capoeira Knights:

Warriors of Brasil

A WORLD PREMIERE featuring performers from The City of God.

Samba! Football! Freedom! Witness Brazil's extraordinary martial art born out of slavery amid the fight for freedom, the secret of Pele's soccer skills and the musical roots of Brazil.

Sixteen spectacular performers from the streets of Rio and Salvador, and Bahia’s finest musicians. 

Gorgeous athletes, at the peak of physical condition defy the boundaries of what the human body is capable of. You really believe they can fly!  A percussion explosion from Bahia, the land of the drum, where Samba was born!  

Surrender to intoxicating rhythms of Carnival, the Caiprinhas, and the wild spirit of Brazil, the birthplace of Capoeira, the dance that kills!
