Description
If you know what ‘Festa de São João’ is you’re already excited as we are! Picture this: an authentic and unique Brazilian celebration, almost as big as carnival, created from a mix of European, African and indigenous harvest and spiritual celebrations resulting in unique music, food, games, and dance.
Group .BR, NY’s Brazilian Theater Company,
is happy to announce that
there will be Festa de São João!
Yes, there will be Festa de São João,
but there will be no tradução! Translation não.
Because Festa de São João is Festa de São João,
so we won’t Saint John Party you.
São João is when Brazilian people feel homesick. Again!
Because it is a true Brazilian celebration
almost as big as carnival
that takes the country every June.
Picture a mix of Portuguese, African and Indigenous festivities
translated into unique music, play and dance
with a truly Brazilian soul.
Come have a bite!
