Building Bridges

Heloisa receives a gift: a collection of super-8 films with images of enormous cataracts that once comprised the Seven Falls (Sete Quedas), a natural paradise destroyed by the construction of the world's largest hydroelectric plant, in the early 1980s. The construction of the plant, at the height of the Brazilian military regime, awakens memories of a past immersed in a political authoritarianism. The film starts from the relationship between Heloisa, the filmmaker, and her father, Alvaro, an engineer who had his moment of glory during the Brazilian military dictatorship. They question the political trajectory of Brazil.Projections and maps become the first bridges to connect with the past. However, it is the inescapable present that really strikes Alvaro and Heloisa as they position themselves on opposite sides.

After night falls, Ysefer emerges from her coffin to find Misti nearby, living with a woman named Augusta. The vampire will not rest until he finds his beloved-hated sorceress, even if for that he needs to join the strangest beings of the night in São Paulo.

Demonios

In a culture in which relations of repression are established over the body, the figure of the devil is constantly linked to it, whether through association with sexual freedom or through the idea of control and punishment. In view of this, the show created from the performativity in dance proposes to research the philosophical and experiential developments that this situation can generate in our society. Conceived by the Teatro da Pomba Gira Collective, Demons launches to open his sores and see power in the darkness.
