After a first stopover in the State of Santa Caterina, the tour will move on to the Central and Northern regions of the country<\/a>. Joinville, ten hours by coach from Sao Paolo, is a modern city<\/strong> and a reference point for all dance enthusiasts, and not only the South Americans. Apart from Moscow, it is the only one that hosts a school of the Bolshoi Theater, where the old Russian method is taught. In the city of dance, from last 24 September to 1 October<\/strong>, nine Bolshoi ballet dancers and four others of the Cultural Centre contributed in setting up a musical. Streetlight<\/strong><\/em> is an original project <\/strong>that was staged with over <\/strong>200 youths with drug addiction problems. In three days of intense work, they learnt and practiced dance steps and music, side by side with artists and youngsters, inspired by the motto one for the other<\/em>. At the end, the curtain rose and the show was staged. It was not a job performed \u201cfor\u201d the youth, but \u201cwith\u201d the youth<\/strong>, said Globo TV \u2013 the most popular TV channel in Brazil – which dedicated several spots and interviews to the programme. A workshop dedicated to the educators and social workers working in the city, was held simultaneously on themes regarding the psychological, social and family processes connected to the rehab from the various types of addictions. \"GenRosso_Streetlight_f\"<\/a>Fr. Luiz, current president of the Fazenda together with Angelucia, Nelson and Irac\u00ec,<\/strong> some of the pioneers of the \u201cfactory\u201d of hope, which has spread from Brazil to Latin America, the Philippines, Africa, Russia and Central Europe, worked side by side with Gen Rosso, which for that occasion expanded its team, involving also other members of the local Focolare community. Enthusiasm among the youths involved onstage was sky-high<\/strong>. \u201cIt is really worthwhile to try and overcome one\u2019s limits. I thank the Fazenda for giving us this opportunity to work with Gen Rosso\u201d.<\/em> <\/em> \"GenRosso_Streetlight_e\"<\/a><\/strong>So taken by the music and the rhythm, a boy who in the past headed a violent gang, said<\/strong>: “The adrenalin I had experienced while doing bad things, was for me, the utmost. But I saw that one can be even happier in doing good, without drugs and alcohol. This is something new for me.\u201d <\/em>William, of the Bolshoi school<\/strong>: \u201cI learned that one can dance not only with technique and discipline but also with one\u2019s heart. It was a joyous and likewise harmonious experience expressed also with a smile.\u201d <\/em>A ballerina of the Cultural Centre said: <\/strong>\u201dOur professionalism encountered the force of a lifestyle of many youths: a surprise for me and a miracle of art for one another.\u201d <\/em> Also the public expressed surprise and enthusiasm: <\/strong>\u201cI saw my city get involved.\u201d \u201cIt is art that becomes service to society.\u201d \u201cYou have strengthened unity among the various civil communities; a very precious experience which we must pursue in the future.\u201d <\/em> Meanwhile, after the concert<\/em> in every city of the tour, the group continued the work to ensure that connections between the various social institutions \u00a0engaged in the education and rehabilitation from drugs and other addictions, were consolidated and strengthened, so as not to allow the streetlights to dim.
