About Spirit of The Favela

Spirit of the Favela is a never-before-seen UK premiere, blending the raw energy of Rio’s backstreets with the awe-inspiring spectacle of modern theatrical circus. This bold, immersive production explodes with jaw-dropping acrobatics, high-flying aerial stunts, live samba, and the electrifying beats of Afro-Brazilian funk.

From capoeira warriors leaping into the air, to dancers spinning with the power of the streets, and drummers who set the stage ablaze — this is a living, breathing celebration of community, survival, and spirit.

Theatrical Circus meets carnival. Tradition meets rebellion. Welcome to the soul of the favela.

Dare to feel. Dare to dance. Dare to believe.
