Unbridled antics of the "Captains of sand" - children who are robbing, keep the whole city in awe - an urgent intervention by the Inspectorate for Minors Affairs and the Chief of Police is necessary - yesterday there was another raid. Jorge Amado The most famous Brazilian writer Jorge Amado, Communist, Voodoo and Chevalier of the Order of the Legion of Honor should thank the fans of MET for this enchanting performance. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone is familiar with his work to some extent. Even those who never took his books into his hands: there are few people at a conscious age who have not seen the film "Generals of sandy quarries" based on the novel by the captain of the sand. Thousands of abandoned street children wander through the expanses of South America. In Brazil, they dig in the dregs, beg and steal. Their home is a street, their idol and a kind of Robin Hood - the bloody terrorist Lampian, the hero of the Brazilian poor; they are embittered and lonely. In order not to be lost alone, they get into gangs and terrorize well-off townspeople. Some such gang found shelter among sand dunes, on the ocean shore. People call them "generals of sand quarries". These guys are ready to fight for a piece of bread, and do not envy those who are on their way - these boys are dangerous and tough. However, they also have hearts, have a desire to love and be loved. Therefore, when street children get acquainted with the girl Dora and her brother, whom relatives kicked out into the street, the "captains of sand" give new orphans shelter, food and protection. Kind, responsive and fearless, Dora quickly joins the men's team, replacing lonely boys and sister and mother. Together they commit many daring robberies, not suspecting that the days of their gangster commune are numbered ... "Captains of sand" - this is dance, wrestling, gymnastics, acrobatics, music - all together. Music and rhythm are bodily embodied in movements, decorative dance is filled with the living game of two people, attack, defense, deception, bragging, fatigue, reconciliation, resentment - all this is born in the game, dances, fights in a single action.
