Citroen Car - Awards Ceremony

As the guests entered the 'Rio' corridor of dreams, they were handed champagne by four beautiful tropical bird hostesses, with large feathered back packs and covered in glitter. As they continued down the corridor they met our Brazilian dancers and Rio stilt walkers, and finally at the end they came to two very talented percussionists filling the entire room with the sounds of Brazil.

The evening's performances kicked off with our talented acrobats showing off their strength and skill with complicated lifts, and ending with a stunning silks routine. This was all performed on the 'Aerial Archway' prop, which slowly rotated throughout the whole performance. To follow this performance our Brazilian dancers arrived onto the stage in dazzling bejewelled costumes, large feathered headdresses and colourful feathered backpacks. This high energy and fun routine set the mood for the whole evening. This performance also featured the only two LED Brazilian costumes outside of Brazil.

After the first set of awards had been handed out, the light dimmed and the next act entered: our UV Capoeira show. This high impact performance saw the two Brazilian acrobats flying through the air, tricking and flipping all over the stage. With the enhancement of UV tribal paint and UV cannons, the audience were treated to a new twist on a traditional Capoeira show. This was swiftly followed by our Samba dancers in their sparkly dresses, hypnotising the crowd.
As the guests had all received their awards and had just finished their last course, we had our penultimate act of the evening - our mysterious
'Snake Basket. We added our two tribal ballerinas either side of the basket to make the show even bigger. The ballerinas started the act making their way through the crowd and ending up at the snake basket on stage. With their large feather fans they revealed the sensationally bendy snakeskin-covered contortionist from inside the basket. Balancing on sky high canes, this act received a large round of applause as she contorted herself into all sorts of positions, framed by the two beautifully elegant ballerinas.
After this, a burst of colour erupted onto the stage as our Brazilian dancers ended the awards section of the evening with an upbeat performance covered in colourful tassel dresses, followed by a grand finale from all the performers.

To round off the carnival themed event our Carnival beats drummers played drums alongside both carnival and hit music late into the night.
