FOLIA choreographically explores manifestations belonging to the universe of oral literature and the rhythms of Brazilian culture. From the observation and study of parlendas, prayers, tongue twisters, riddles, songs, games and games, scenic suggestions are extracted both for the movement of the interpreters and for the type of sounds they emit during their displacement.
