Calixto Neto

Feijoada

  • Performance
  • Dance
English /  approx. 180 mins.

Feijoada is a stew of beans and meat, a typical Sunday meal, a symbol of Brazilian hospitality. Together with 6 musicians and 3 performers, choreographer Calixto Neto invites the audience to experience the preparation of a feijoada in real time. The aromas of the cooking process mingle with samba dances and songs as well as personal and political anecdotes. What meat at the market is the cheapest right now? Where do the inequalities that characterise Brazil’s society come from? Which bodies are subject to violence? And how else can the story of the national dish Feijoada be told? In this roda de samba, which is a special get-together where people play music and dance in a circle, rhythm and movement become the common language. With “Feijoada”, Calixto Neto invites you to savour the dish and initiates candid encounters between people and their cultures.

Latest information for arrival

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
