Yes to Brazilian Carnival at House of Yes? Yes to celebrating Clarice Lispector’s centennial in an 8h long party exploring the multitude of the Brazilian carnival? Or as we say, CarnAval? YES!
We say YES and we invite you to do the same. Get in your costumes and be ready to dance, a lot.
Saravá! Yes Carnaval will feature live music by the percussion groups Pandeiro Ensemble, Mambembé, Fogo Azul and the percussionist and Stomp performer Marivaldo dos Santos. The DJs Greg Caz, Mickey Pérez, Deo Jorge and Tahira (Brazil) will keep the crowd moving with the best of the Brazilian carnival beats.
Adding to the artistic feeling from House of Yes, the party will have a theatrical approach to Brazilian culture that has been the Group .BR's signature, featuring performances, dance, and art installations inspired by the works of Clarice Lispector.

MAKE YOUR OWN MASK
February 18th and 19th
6:30PM - 8:30PM

You are more crafty than you think. All you need is a couple of evenings savoring some Brazilian treats as you create your own mask from scratch. There will be no right or wrong, just let your creativity loose and surprise yourself with the result. On the first night, we will create the base of the mask and on the second night, we will paint and decorate it.
Remember to wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty and potentially stained by paint. This workshop is open to all levels, no prior experience is necessary.
