A dança na rua - The African Cypher
Published2 Jul 2013
Um documentário premiado para ver esta noite. Compreender a dança de rua como uma etapa na formação de uma nova geração. Os desejos, os obstáculos, as esperanças e as vitórias. A solidariedade e a rivalidade entre crews, os ritos de iniciação contemporâneos, a construção da identidade.Tudo isto está em "The African Cypher".
The African Cypher is the birthplace of ritual celebration, council, story telling and dance.
