This will include performers draped in linen while the sounds play before a massive screen featuring ever-changing background images of sunflowers that seemingly rise up from their roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second part of the night involves a seven-year-old composition titled \u2018<strong>Gira,\u2019&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>which t<\/strong>akes a deep dive into the minutiae of Afro-Brazilian religions aided by the sounds of Brazilian jazz greats, Met\u00e1 Met\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rodrigo Pederneiras will lead the attendees on a journey exhibiting parts of the lesser-known Candombl\u00e9 and Umbanda rituals in dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those fortunate enough to have already seen Grupo Corpo, they know what a force this dance troupe is when they performed the wholly different, but no less compelling \u2018<em>Seven or Eight Pieces for a Ballet\u2019&nbsp;<\/em>and \u2018<em>Breu.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grupo Corpo performs Wednesday, March 13 at Jackson Hall located inside the Mondavi Center on the UC Davis campus at One Shields Avenue.
