Nuns as Beatboxer and Dancer Cause a Stir

The two nuns, Marizele Isabel Cassiano Rego (46) and Marisa de Paula Neves (41), are members of the religious community Copiosa Redencao. In an interview with the broadcaster Pai Eterno in the state of Goias, they explain their creative approach in pastoral work, especially when working with people suffering from addiction problems.

Growing Interest in Nuns' Work After Hip-Hop Performance

The nuns explain that music, dance, and theater are proven means for them to reach out to young people and overcome barriers, and they demonstrate their skills with a sample. International media picked up the video after it was commented on by celebrities like actresses Viola Davis and Whoopi Goldberg ("Sister Act"). The nuns have since reported growing interest in their work.

In Austria, there are also nuns who have caused a stir with dance far beyond church circles: Three sisters working in Graz from the Orders of the Sisters of Mercy and the Ursulines became widely known with videos of their performances to popular songs on the TikTok and Instagram channel of the Catholic Church of Styria, which were clicked millions of times and shared by, among others, the German model Heidi Klum.
