The lakeside stage opens with a drumbeat, only there is no drum: just one instrument - the human body. The fifteen performers of the Brazilian troupe Barbatuques conjure absolutely amazing sounds out of their bodies. In a one-of-a-kind show, they dance, sing, rock, rap and jazz. Moments of prolonged delicacy explode into a mix of Brazilian, European and North American melody. Human and animal sounds clash and blend with primordial and urban noises. With wit, enthusiasm and zeal, Barbatuques demonstrates that there really is music in their bodies. (ron)
