Literally translated as “interior game” and inspired by the Angolan game of capoeira, Jogo de Dentro is the story of a meeting between two hip hop dancers from mixed cultures. This first piece is an opportunity for Kaê Brown Carvalho and Jerson Diasonama to explore a common and eclectic heritage, a similar yet distinct language. A sensory journey along the paths crossed by Angola, Portugal, Brazil and France.
