The gorgeous Bale de Rua troupe rules the stage with enthralling drum beats, breathless body movements and innovative set pieces. Telling a loose story of the slaves who came to Brazil, this semblance of structure bows down before a musical journey that…
Taking over a modest stage at The World in Shandwick Place, the Capoeira Knights bring a piece of the favelas to Edinburgh. Less elaborate than Bale de Rua, this is nevertheless packed with muscle, attitude and a big hunk of upbeat Brazilian soul.
One of many pieces pivoting on The Picture of Dorian Gray at this year’s Fringe, this duet pares down the complexities of Wilde’s novel to focus on the obsessive sexual relationship between Basil Hallward and his beautiful boy. There is some beautiful…
