Grupo Corpo – ciało w stanie czystym
Grupo Corpo – The Body in its Pure State

Summary/Abstract: The author presents the genesis and development of the Brazilian dance theater Grupo Corpo founded by Rodrigo Pederneiras. Bajor-Ciciliati reviews all of the plays created by the group, situating them in the broader Brazilian context, indicating the innovation and radical formal strategies of their work. It is in their plays that, for the first time in the Brazilian history of dance, the classical style has been crossed with elements of pop culture, and the uniquely Brazilian erotic body language has been shifted to the foreground. The description of the performances shows us that all the elements of the Brazilian imaginarium can be found in the company's work, which is why the author believes that in making a national style the main source of his artistic expression, Pederneiras has defined the Brazilian identity in the context of contemporary dance.
