After collaborating many years ago with the legendary Brazilian composer, Milton Nascimento, Parsons Dance returns to the mesmerizing and exotic music once again in this new work called "Nascimento Novo." Using the world-renowned percussionists' of Nascimento's band, we hear an astonishing array of Brazilian instruments and styles rarely heard outside Brazil. This piece explores the themes of sensuality, community and above all the stunning cohesion of ensemble work.
