With an original poem by Severo dos Santos, the two dancers travel through the favela, dancing ‘passinho’.
In this short dance video, Smail Kanouté – choreographer and dancer – and Severo dos Santos – ‘passinho’ dancer, poet and funk dance beatmaker – pay homage to the victims of a massacre that took place on 6 May in the favela of Jacarezinho in Rio de Janeiro during a funk dance.
