All human relationships are based on interdependence and mutual completion, this served the choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras, as the basis for ímã. Soft and lively, catchy and at the same time strange; Grupo Corpo's piece is defined by a constant alternation of fullness and emptiness. Solos, duos, larger and smaller groups find and scatter in an incessant play.

The soundtrack composed by the trio "+2" takes you into a world of melodic and electronic sounds. Domenico, Kassin and Moreno superimpose sounds and texts and combine a variety of different instruments.
Seemingly incidentally, the music reveals influences ranging from Bossanovist João Donato to the icon of 1970s Afro-American music, Fela Kuti, while visiting contemporary Japanese multi-instrumentalist Cornelius as if in passing.

With seven-colored LEDs, Paulo Pederneiras creates a new scenic spatiality that makes the intangible visible.

The whole almost rural colors at the beginning of ímã lead to a radical, violent almost exuberant explosion of color that creates the unusual almost always dissonant combinations with Freusa Zechmeister's costumes. The poetic of opposites created by the magic when supposedly separate things join and disparate things come together gives the piece the allure of the unknown and an incredible beauty.
