Rodrigo Bragança brings a free multisensory performance to São Paulo’s CCSP on April 18, featuring Oran Etkin, Craca Beat, and Fernanda Gusso.
On April 18, at 7 pm, the Sala Adoniran Barbosa at the Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP) hosts In_Ventos, a project by composer and multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo Bragança. The show is a sensory immersion where sound, image, and movement merge in real time, with no fixed script. Admission is free.
Sound, image, and body in constant dialogue
At the heart of the performance, Rodrigo Bragança moves between guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, electronics, samples, and theremin. His sound research pushes the boundaries of Brazilian instrumental music, leaning into the creative tension between composition and improvisation.
Visual artist Craca Beat creates immersive projections that go far beyond accompaniment — they breathe alongside the music, turning the stage into a shifting, living landscape.
Performer Fernanda Gusso brings the experience into the body. Her presence on stage does not illustrate the music: it pushes against it, responds to it, and expands what the audience hears into physical space.
Guests deepen the performance’s reach
The show gains further intensity with the participation of internationally acclaimed clarinetist and saxophonist Oran Etkin, known worldwide for his vibrant musicality, and bassist and multi-instrumentalist Bruno Migotto, who expands the rhythmic force and sonic range of the evening.
Each performance is unique, built in the moment. Music shapes gesture, gesture shifts atmosphere, and image rewires how we listen.
A project rooted in collaboration
Launched in 2018 as a series of online collaborative sessions, In_Ventos brought together musicians, poets, dancers, and visual artists to create original works. In 2019, it expanded to live stages with multilanguage performances. During the pandemic, the project produced the online series “Creative Processes,” featuring interviews with 12 composers about their methods.
Over the years, In_Ventos has gathered artists including Antônio Nóbrega, Marcelo Segreto, João Taubkin, and Priscila Brigante. The project was selected by the 8th Edition of the Music Support Grant for the City of São Paulo, issued by the Municipal Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy.
Rodrigo Bragança: research, experimentation, and stage
Composer, guitarist, and music researcher, Rodrigo Bragança co-founded the group Mandu Sarará, which featured Hermeto Pascoal, Proveta, and Danilo Caymmi. With the band O Grito, he was highlighted by Guitar Player magazine as part of “one of the most innovative rock groups today” in 2006.
As a solo artist, he has released albums exploring the timbral possibilities of the electric guitar. He also created the project “Caminhos Poéticos da Canção” and has shared panels with Fernando Brant, Chico César, Arnaldo Antunes, and Luiz Tatit. He teaches graduate courses in composition and music production at Faculdade Santa Marcelina.
After the show, the artists invite the audience to a conversation about creative processes and contemporary experimentation.
