Sinopse
Feijoada is a stew of beans and meat, a typical Sunday meal, a symbol of Brazilian hospitality. Surrounded by musicians, dancers, performers and a cook, choreographer Calixto Neto invites the audience to experience the preparation of a feijoada in real time. The aromas of the cooking process mingle with samba dances and songs as well as personal and political anecdotes. Where do the inequalities that characterise Brazil’s society come from? Which bodies are subject to violence? And how else can the story of the national dish feijoada be told? In this roda de samba, which is a special get-together where people play music and dance in a circle, rhythm and movement become the common language. The performance is followed by a shared tasting.

During his studies, he created the solo petites explosions as well as the duet Pipoca, with Bruno Freire. oh!rage, his second solo, gives visibility to minority bodies and identities and is interested in "peripheral" dances, on the fringe of institutional circuits. Member of Lia Rodrigues' company from 2007 to 2013, Calixto Neto is also a performer in the creations of Anne Collod, Mette Ingvartsen, Eve Magot (formerly Kevin Jean) or Luiz de Abreu, whose famous piece O Samba do Crioulo Doido he reenacted in 2020 as part of the Panorama festival at the CN D in Pantin and with which he is still touring. In May 2021 he created Outrar upon the invitation of Lia Rodrigues during the Kunstenfestivaldesarts, in Brussels. In September 2021, he premiered FEIJOADA, a piece created in the frame of Lia Rodrigues' portrait for the Festival d'Automne in Paris 2021. In May 2022, he launched the project Crazy Evil Nigght, a project around the life and work of Julius Eastman, in the frame of Kunstenfestivaldesarts.
