Performers use simple dances to depict Chavezs childhood in a humble house with a mud floor, and his days roaming the streets selling homemade papaya sweets known as spiders. The hour-long show, presented by Venezuelas National Dance Company, blends classic and contemporary choreography, and draws on a range of music including Venezuelan folk melodies, African rhythms and symphonic scores.
