Calixto & guests

Feijoada is a transdisciplinary project that takes the emblematic Brazillian dish as a starting point to question the colonial heritage and how it is actualized and transformed into a celebration, that includes music, text, dance and food.

Feijoada is a piece that appears as an artistic answer to a generational encounter. In 2019, Calixto Neto was invited to reenact the iconic piece of Brazilian choreographer Luiz de Abreu,O Samba do Crioulo Doido (2004).

In a scene of the piece, Luiz (and since 2020, Calixto) dances a Bossa Nova in which the lyrics is a feijoada recipe sung in French. Feijoada comes as a will to dig into the violence and joy that we can see in this scene.

On stage, we have a feijoada being prepared in real time, a group of samba dancers invite the audience to take part in the party and the performers share their stories about struggles, power, legacy, ‘saudade’, love and more…

And in the end everybody eats together.

Member of Lia Rodrigues’ company between 2007 and 2013, he currently divides his time between collaborations with other artists (where the reenactment of the piece O Samba do Crioulo Doido stands out) and his own projects: the solos oh!rage and Outrar (based on a proposal by Lia Rodrigues) and the films O Samba do Crioulo Doido: rule and compass and Pro Futuro Quilombo.
