When the first guitar chords and the sinuous silhouette of a ballerina strike the air, there is a hint of mystery on stage. Soon, the aridity of an eerily white landscape emphasizes the enigmatic atmosphere.
Dressed in white from the start of the ballet to the finish, moving across the linoleum – which is also white – and against the backdrop panel that gradually reveals the peaks and valleys of a structure that resembles a giant glacier, the GRUPO CORPO dancers drift through the intriguing web of themes composed by Samuel Rosa for the White Suite score.
Idealized as the old Roman blank slates or a blank page, on which a new story begins to be written, White Suite marks the first collaboration between the young choreographer from São Paulo, Cassi Abranches, and the dance company from Minas Gerais.
