When the first guitar chords and the sinuous silhouette of a ballerina streak across the air, a hint of mystery creeps into the scene. Soon, the aridity of a strangely white landscape underscores the enigmatic atmosphere.

Dressed in white from beginning to end of the ballet, moving on the equally white linoleum floor and with a backdrop that gradually reveals the protrusions and recesses of a structure suggesting a gigantic glacier, the dancers of Grupo Corpo traverse the intriguing tangle of themes composed by Samuel Rosa for the soundtrack of Suíte Branca. 

Conceived like the ancient Roman tabula rasa or a blank page upon which a new story begins to be inscribed, White Suite marks the first collaboration between the young São Paulo choreographer Cassi Abranches and the Minas Gerais dance company. Between undulating arms and hips, pendulum movements, suspensions, and numerous floor interventions, the score of movements she has created proposes a dialogue with the law of gravity, where it is possible to glimpse the distinctive features of the Body that have long inhabited our imagination and, at the same time, to discern the force of an unequivocal otherness.
