choreography: Rodrigo Pederneiras
music: Lenine
set design and lighting: Paulo Pederneiras

In order to express in movement the complex, piercing score by singer and composer Lenine, Rodrigo Pederneiras and the dancers had to leave behind the sensuality, lyricism and joy and initiate new forms of movement. The result was Breu, a ballet featuring forms that are harsher, more angular and more powerful that its predecessors.
The original score by Lenine encompasses a vast range of timbres, samplers, sound effects, musical references and styles, resulting in a stimulating babel of sound. Conceived as a unique piece, the score comprises eight movements, from hard rock to traditional Brazilian musical genres.
