YABAS/QUEENS ON TOUR
(2006, 70 minutes)

Choreographed by Luiz Badaró,  Rosangela Silvestre,
and Dani Lunn

Featuring Vania Amaral and Katia Moraes on vocals

National tour with major support from the New England Foundation for the Arts/National Dance Project

Based on tales of desire and intrigue from Bahia–the first heartbeat, the last kiss, the final breath are evoked in the mythical realm of the Orixas as Viver Brasil explores the variety of mystical love relationships of the orixa Kings and Queens. The company presents the swirling samba de roda, capoeira and the carnival exhilaration of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
