SAMBA // International

Welcome to the pig's blood-red fantasy! A samba arena, a circle, a hotbed, a pigsty.

"SAMBA" is raw and urban. "SAMBA" is vibrant and sensuous. "SAMBA" is messiness and cohesion. "SAMBA" is everything that happens in the space between us. "SAMBA" wants to get under the skin, behind the mask, around the ring, and give body and space to everything we are.

There's nothing black and white here, neither the sweetest bitch nor the biggest pig. With our snouts in the trough and tails in the air, we dig deep into the pigsty and throw ourselves into the community, with all the misunderstandings, compromises and balancing acts that entails.

Watch or re-watch Uppercut Dance Theater's 2020 Reumert winner. A circus of festivities, secrets, communities and temptations.

Tickets for the performance are sold through our Swapcard platform.
