MITsp – International Theater Festival reaches its 10th edition. For a decade, despite adverse circumstances, the festival has remained true to its experimental and critical vocation, engaging with the historical moment and its reverberations in contemporary performing arts.
In the Performance Showcase, the featured artist is nora chipaumire from Zimbabwe. The program also includes performances from Argentina, France, and Mozambique, as well as national works by Alejandro Ahmed and Antonio Nóbrega, the latter being honored for his career.
MITbr – Plataforma Brasil, an ongoing program for the internationalization of Brazilian performing arts, brings together a diversity of themes and languages from the contemporary scene and highlights Rio de Janeiro-based artist Wallace Ferreira/Patfudyda.
The program also includes Olhares Críticos (Critical Perspectives), which invites audiences to reflect on performing arts and contemporary Brazil through a series of thought-provoking activities, and Ações Pedagógicas (Pedagogical Actions), which explores new ways of producing and transmitting knowledge.
