H3 (Running time 50 minutes, no intermission)
Artistic Director Bruno Beltrão is a talented young choreographer, based in Rio de Janeiro, who has become an international sensation for using hip hop to construct something totally new and fresh. He has revolutionized the popular dance form to create an until now unkown space between hip-hop and contemporary dance - using a wide variety of music, be it classical, free jazz, or complete silence. Beltrão's brilliant all male company, Grupo de Rua, will perform his newest work H3 that dispenses with heavy beats and macho posturing, instead creating a minimalist, almost meditative interpretation of hip-hop in which the movement itself becomes its own pulsating rhythm.
Funded in part by the National Dance Project of the New England Foundation for the Arts, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and additional funding from the Ford Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Community Connections Fund of the MetLife Foundation.
