Peace to the City Dance is a contemporary chamber ballet produced from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that gives movement and voice to efforts of local groups around the world to build a culture of peace.

Based on the Peace to the City Campaign of the World Council of Churches, the production is a contribution to the Decade to Overcome Violence: Churches Seeking Reconciliation and Peace (2001-2010).

Following its world premier at the World Exposition in Hannover in September 2000, the production will go on a global tour hosted by local churches and organizations.

Seeking to blend the local with the global, the performance can be part of a longer programme that includes local expressions drawing upon experiences of violence and efforts to build peace in the hosting community.

Performance time: 50 minutes

Concert:
The performance can be combined with a 20-30 minute classical/contemporary music concert by Trio Aquarius.

Workshops:
Lusmarina Campos Garcia and Marcia Milhazes can lead workshops to help young people and local groups set up their own artistic production.
