Lia Rodrigues

In Fúria—"fury" and "force" in Portuguese—Rodrigues travels beyond the contradictions of the ego as nine dancers bond with their primitive energies to reinvent social constructs. Exploring themes of otherness and group dynamics, she crafts a fictional universe that constantly evolves as the dancers progress from conflict and isolating individualism to jubilation and collective transcendence. The result is an invigorating experience that offers respite from numbing pandemic fatigue and the social anxiety of our time.

A driving force behind Centro de Artes da Maré, an arts center in one of Rio's largest favelas, or shantytowns, Rodrigues makes no distinction between her dance practice and the diverse community to which she is deeply committed.
