Brazil! Brazil! is about the celebration of the Brazilian way of life. The show explores the link between Capoeira, Samba, and football. The show also tells the story of how the origins of these cultural obsessions in Brazil stem from slavery, particularly in the North-Eastern Bahia region.

The skills needed for Capoeira, Samba and football are very similar. The word Ginga, which means dodging, is used in all 3 activities. While Capoeira and Samba were formed by slaves, Brazilian football was transformed by them into what it is today.
