The Presence of the World in Me

On the edges of their bodies, between the fragility of existence and its desiring intensities, three brazilian artists are transmuted with each performance. Their works question the limits we set in and for our own bodies.

The First Fallen

1983 — A young biologist returns home from studies abroad and feels something wrong with his body. This is the start of the AIDS crisis when the first wave of the epidemic hit Brazil. Lives will change, friends will be lost and the future is uncertain.

Cages

The final months of pregnancy and the first ones after the birth of a baby are unique experiences in a woman's life. And when this daily life is lived inside a prison?

As Horas Vulgares

The painter Lauro seems to have a good life: he lives with his beloved wife Erika, and is successful working with art. However, he is not happy. One day, Lauro runs into Theo, a friend he hasn't seen in years. Both have already been in love with the same girl, Clara, who no longer lives in the city. It doesn't take long for the two to start remembering them as stories from the past, while taking a long walk through the streets of Vitória.

Macabéia

Imagine "Macabéa", that one from Clarice Lispector's book. Plain, stuck in life - What would her life be like today? This is the story of Marluce, who thinks, acts, feels and dreams like a Macabea from the late 90's.
