Carmina Burana Ballet arrives in São Paulo for a limited season, offering Brazilian audiences an immersive reinterpretation of Carl Orff’s iconic cantata. Created by Portugal’s acclaimed Vortice Dance Company and produced by Infinitus (Grupo IN), the production blends contemporary dance, monumental music and cutting-edge videomapping into a powerful sensory experience. Under the artistic and choreographic direction of Cláudia Martins and Rafael Carriço, the ballet transforms medieval poems about love, fate and desire into a striking dialogue between body and technology, sacred and profane.

The iconic rock musical Hair is back in a bold new Brazilian production directed by Charles Möeller and Claudio Botelho. Opening at São Paulo’s BTG Pactual Hall, the show celebrates the spirit of the 1960s counterculture — peace, love, and rebellion — through powerful anthems like Aquarius and Let the Sunshine In. With a cast of 30 led by Rodrigo Simas and Eduardo Borelli, this vibrant staging fuses rock, poetry, and raw emotion to explore freedom, identity, and protest in a turbulent era. Nearly six decades after its debut, Hair still pulses with youthful defiance and idealism, inviting audiences to sing, reflect, and feel the rhythm of a revolution that never truly ended.
