The Street Theater (r)Exists - The Film

After all, in a Brazil marked by inequality, is a democratic theater possible?

Synopsis:
In Brazil, 96% of cities lack a dedicated theater space. Given this scenario, will the street become the stage of the future? This documentary explores the role of street theater as an artistic and political force in the country through interviews with key figures of the Brazilian scene: Rosyane Trotta, Licko Turle, and Amir Haddad (RJ); Matteo Bonfitto, Alexandre Mate, and Valmir Santos (SP); André Carreira (SC); and Francis Wilker (CE).

More Information:
The Street Theater (r)Exists - The Film directed by Pedro de Lima Marques, it is a feature-length documentary that reveals the reality of theater artists in Brazil, focusing on street theater. The work addresses urgent issues, gives visibility to this marginalized artistic form, and invites the audience to reflect: “In a Brazil marked by inequality, is a truly democratic theater possible?”

The project was carried out with the support of the Marco Polo – Initiatives That Transform the Future call for proposals, made possible by the Aldir Blanc Law in 2021.
