What if partying was an act of resistance? A danced and musical lecture, Breque invites us to enter into the rhythms and movements of samba as if into a living language, socially and historically situated. Here, the lecture chooses an understanding that first passes through experience and dialogue. Lisa Biscaro Balle, choreographer-performer, and Rayra Marciel, percussionist, combine their personal experiences and research to immerse us in the joyful, plural, and profoundly political heart of this dance.
