CAPOEIRA showtime:
To mystic sounds from Berimbau - see photo - played by a Capoeirist, the 6 Capoeiristas are moving slowly onto the stage.
They start singing, which remembers to the past, strong religious influenced times of the Candomblé - the audience sings along and is handklapping animated.
2 Capoeiristas hidding their African drums - Djembes - and take over vocals and rhythm, which already has increased a bit ...
The 4 soloists show their well trained biceps and their body control through individual actions, what the audience each time accompanied with frenetic applause.
Each actor shows new and exciting acrobatic figures - double Strokes - jumps while the drums already much more has increased - speed of the rhythm and volume are getting more and more...
At this point, the CD takes over the already very wild rhythmen and all 6 players start in pairs to fight, each pair about 30 sec - that is a very quick succession of top-fight shows.
Almost at the end there will increased again - ALL ACTORS simultaneously fighting each other in pairs - about 40 seconds long.
An abrupt end with harmony - of course - a melodic finale in which all players motionless in their recent positions remain devout and listening to the end of Candomblé. Fine - applause applause ....
