Brush up on your Portuguese or give in to the fact that dance is a universal language as you watch this video footage of Brazil’s Cisne Negro performing Frutos de Terra by Israeli choreographer Itzik Galili.

The company returns to The Joyce for the time first since 2005 with an eclectic program that includes Flock, an exotic take on Stravinsky’s Firebird; Dany Bittencourt’s ABACADA, and a special opening night appearance by American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Marcelo Gomes.
