Grupo Corpo returned in 2005 for its second performance, Lecuona and Onqotô, which featured the music of Brazilian musician and activist Caetano Veloso—who has performed at BAM five times—set to 12 unique duets, each exploring the complexities of joy in love.

With striking black and white patterned costumes, the troupe performed Benguelê and Breu in 2008: Benguelê, an exploration of Brazil's African, Arabic, and European dance roots; Breu, an aggressive and anxiety-filled work defined by a society bereft of communication.
Finally, Grupo Corpo brought Ímã & Sem Mim to BAM for the 30th annual Next Wave Festival in 2012 with a signature blend of Afro-Brazilian, ballet, and modern styles enlivened by a contemporary electronic score. Check out the trailer (above) and take a look inside the BAMbill posted in our online Leon Levy Digital Archive, here.
This week, Grupo Corpo will delight BAM audiences once again in a highly kinetic double bill, sure to be explored in our archives in years to come. For tickets and to learn more about Bach & Gira, click here.
