DZI CROQUETTES

The most awarded documentary in Brazilian history.

Their innovative dance, hypnotic sensuality, humor, political satire, and explosive performances took Brazil and Europe by storm. Godmothered by Liza Minnelli, the group attracted the international artistic elite as front-row fans.
