DanceBrazil, from Bahia, under the artistic direction of Jelon Vieira, presents "Inura" at the Skirball Center with choreography by frequent DanceBrazil guest artist Carlos Dos Santos and a commissioned score by Cuban-born composer and conductor Tania León; and "Ritmos" (2008), Vieira's homage to Capoeira, the Afro-Brazilian martial art unique to his home state of Bahia, and the Samba, Brazil's iconic popular dance.

On March 20, stay for a Q&A with the artists themselves after the performance. Participants include Inura Composer Tania León, Inura Choreographer Carlos Dos Santos, Ritmos Composer and Music Director Tote Gira, as well as Ritmos Choreographer and Artistic Director Jelon Vieira.
