Based in France, Centre Chorégraphique National de Créteil et du Val-de-Marne/Compagnie Käfig makes its Houston debut with artistic director Mourad Merzouki's work Correria Agwa. The all-male Brazilian cast whom Merzouki discovered in the shantytowns of Rio de Janeiro performs these celebrated works influenced by hip-hop, bossa nova and capoeira.

Correria (running) plunges us into a frantic race just like the one that governs our daily lives — bodies, movement and a show that takes your breath away. Agwa (water) is about water, at once a vital component of our bodies, a precious natural resource to be economized and preserved, and a symbol of renewal.
