  Rua dos Arcos, 24 2º andar - Lapa - Rio de Janeiro, RJ           
Depois de ser muito tempo massacrado pela palavra, o teatro descobriu o gesto, o salto, opulo. Então deu a mão à dança. O par achando que podia ser ainda mais espetacular botou o circo na roda. Os três se olharam e disseram ao mesmo tempo: Intrépida Trupe Somos! Isso aconteceu em 1986, dentro da missão impossível que foi a viagem do Circo Voador ao México para a Copa do Mundo. Fragmentos da Escola Nacional de Circo, na Praça da Bandeira, somados a estilhaços de dançarinas do Coringa, mixados a atores do Manchas e Manias e designer da Blitz, só podia dar em algo além do nível do mar...

<iframe id='palyer22' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=CACMJG'></iframe id='palyer22'>
Capoeira Angola, an ancient martial art of African origin, is one of the many cultural weapons used to break the chains of enslavement in Brazil. Played close to the ground, Capoeira Angola combines fluid, dance-like movements with kicks, head butts, tripping sweeps and the appearance of playfulness or vulnerability. Music is played on traditional instruments to accompany the players, to teach the rhythmic heart of the art, and also to mask its power. In the eyes of the enslavers it appeared to be a joking and playful acrobatic dance, but eventually its power was realized and Capoeira was outlawed. Death was the penalty paid by those caught playing Capoeira during the slavery era. For almost 400 years Capoeira Angola was taught and practiced in secret, and only in the 1930's did this African martial art become legal to teach and practice.
