“One of the things I love in this collection is that each story opens up a world for the reader, in a way that has the scope of a novel… “Everything the Mouth Eats” takes place at a capoeira conference.”
“Students performed Mexican music, African dance and demonstrated capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art that draws on elements of dance, acrobatics and music.”
“[Paulo dos Santos] won first place in Brazil’s National Capoeira Championships and his antics will incorporate elements of capoeira (a Brazilian mixed martial art combining music, dance and acrobatics) into the [circus] show.”
“In Brazil, where Capoeira originates, there is a culture of taking it out on the streets and involving people in the performance and we are trying to replicate that here.”
