A Brazilian street festival inspired show is heading for Mull.
Scottish Dance Theatre (SDT) is collaborating with Glasgow music label Optimo to bring Brazilian street festival inspired show Looping: Scotland Overdub to Mull as part of its summer tour. Working with Optimo records and DJs JD Twitch and Bake, the full company of 12 Scottish Dance Theatre dancers will bring this street festival ceilidh to Mull Theatre, Druimffn, Tobermory. Words are by the acclaimed writer Kieran Hurley (Beats, Rantin’) and moves are by Felipe de Assis and Rita Aquino of the Brazilian dance collective made famous at the 2016 Panorama Festival in Rio.
Inspired by the Brazilian street festival and ceilidh culture, Scottish Dance Theatre connects these two countries through the vision of artists Felipe de Assis and Rita Aquino, in collaboration with young people and audiences from three areas in Scotland.
