Join us for a powerful afternoon of movement, music, and cultural celebration, culminating Luana Dias David's week-long residency at Jacob's Pillow.

The Quilombo Experience is a thoughtful exploration of resilience and unity, grounded in the rich cultural heritage of Brazil. Through meticulously crafted costumes, traditional dances, and live music, the project draws inspiration from the historical Quilombos. Rooted in the belief that true strength lies in embracing and celebrating our differences, this work bridges the dances and traditions of Indigenous and Afro-descended ancestors with contemporary interpretations.

✨ 1pm Workshop: Join us for a vibrant and immersive 45-minute workshop that invites participants to embody the spirit of The Quilombo Experience through three essential Brazilian tradition forms: Capoeira, Samba de Roda, Samba Reggae. No experience required. Come ready to move, learn, and celebrate together!

✨ 2pm Showing: Join us for a 45-minute preview of The Quilombo Experience, a powerful multidisciplinary performance that celebrates Brazil’s multicultural roots through music, dance, and storytelling.
