Carver Youth Matinee: Capoeira with Ile Bahia de San Antonio

Ilê Bahia returns for its annual high-energy celebration of capoeira—an electrifying Afro-Brazilian art form that blends martial arts, dance, music, and athleticism. Rooted in the traditions of enslaved Africans in Brazil, capoeira emerged as a powerful expression of cultural preservation, resistance, and resilience. Through rhythm, movement, and breathtaking acrobatics, performers tell a story of struggle, survival, and strength. Audiences of all ages will be captivated by the agility, precision, and spirit of this centuries-old tradition while gaining insight into its deep cultural significance.

Recommended for all ages.
