1. Company / Artist | Alvise Camozzi
Showcasing | VOID

Void is a Brazilian show created by artists who live different theatrical realities: Alvise Camozzi is an Italian artist who has lived in Brazil for years, Beatriz Sayad is a Brazilian artist who works with the Swiss company Finzi Pasca, Letizia Russo is an Italian playwright continuously in transit between countries and cultures, directs the masters of dramaturgy of the Biennale Theater of Venice. Void is a show that appropriates a chronic episode in 1987 (a radioactive disaster) and expands it poetically to reflect on the ways of altering or annihilating our individual and collective memory. The aesthetics of work, composed of a rhizomatic dramaturgical architecture, is strongly musical. Through its multilingual characteristics (the show can be presented in Italian or Portuguese) and its political, social and thematic, it puts us at the forefront of one of the fundamental issues of being in the contemporary world: the forms of heterodirection through narratives of power; we propose the work as a show that can be presented in the international circuit.

2. Company / Artist | Dual Dança Contemporânea

Showcasing | Duo para dois perdidos

Based on the universe of the playwright “Two Lost in a Dirty Night” by the Brazilian playwright Plínio Marcos, the dance show Duo Para Dois Perdidos addresses the relationship between two extremely distinct body worlds in shock and dialogue based on their singularities. Investigating elements of hip hop culture, the two dancers propose a dramaturgical writing that takes the surface of reality to question the body patterns and places of the disability, revealing the brilliance of the human being in his essential condition.
Since 2011, DUAL contemporary scene carries out artistic works from mythologies and historical phenomena related to Brazilian culture. Throughout his career, he participated in important shows and festivals of theater and dance in the states of Bahia, Amapá, Ceará, São Paulo, Pará, Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul and in the cities of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and La Paz, in Bolivia.

5. Company / Artist | Cia Artera de Teatro
Showcasing | Bug Chaser – Coração Purpurinado

Bug Chaser revolves around Mark who is in a quarantine being analyzed by a voice, an artificial intelligence program. In fragments the piece tells of his quest to infect himself with a virus on purpose.
Imagine a dystopian future. Now a man who faces risk in a divided city. Instant sex, small suicides in stealth. The virus here appears as a metaphor for a world sickened by consumption, incomplete, liquid relations of Bauman. Imagine a criminalist lawyer in the heart transplant queue, singing his solitude in a Karaoke, having sex as a way to relieve his relentless anguish, in flashbacks goes in search of the reagent sample. He wants to contaminate himself with the glitter. Imagine a text that contaminates your life and transforms yourself through real contact with men who are willing to talk about bareback and HIV. Fetish or political action? It’s so much bigger. Imagine a heart in the midst of all this creating, the world in chaos, intolerance, non-affection. The lamp becomes a souvenir. Aleppo. Sea. Childhood. Mickey Mouse. Blue hair. Imagine a man seeking belonging as any of us. Imagine an actor, a dramatist bleeding fictionally every day on the scene with a mouse behind the toilet. Imagine a new chapter of HIV. Maybe this text will not tell you everything. Perhaps the way is to find in the underworld a blue place, permeated by daily prophylaxis. This piece has the weight of a heart. From a dream. Imagine. All the veins lead to the heart.

Cínthia and Miella live in SP City, where they work in hairdressing salons, prostitution, and perform in clubs. They decide to make a musical show and schedule the first performance. In order to make the infrastructure viable, they try to associate with Valéria, a feminist militant. But Operation Rondão, commanded by officer Rochette, aggravates the already violent reality of transvestites / trans women and prostitutes in the region, arresting and assaulting them. A transtemporal text, between the 80s and now. The play was the winner of the III Prêmio de Dramaturgias em Pequenos Formatos Cênicos and premiered at Centro Cultural São Paulo in 2018. The purpose of this showcase is to promote a national and international tour of the play.
