Bori
Bori is a project carried out by artists of Teat(r)o Oficina Uzyna Uzona that came up with the urgency of repairing and putting onstage the contribution of black artists to the company’s musical, choral, visual, poetic and architectural language. The rite-show expresses above all the crossroads that happens HAPPENEDin the late 1970s, when the company is crossed by artists, cirandeiros, caboclos, Ialorixás, circus people and composers of samba made in São Paulo. Artists such as Surubim Feliciano da Paixão, Edgar Ferreira, Sandy Celeste and Denise Assumpção, cornerstone in creating the embryos of emblematic plays such as Os Sertões, As Bacantes and Mistérios Gozosos, giving the company the sense of struggle for the land, which moves Teat(r)o Oficina to this day. This work is an offering to the greatness of such artists, celebrated for the breadth and courage of their performances.

About
Teat(r)o Oficina Uzyna Uzona was founded by José Celso Martinez Correa and other artists and directed by him until his death in 2023. In its 66 years of uninterrupted theatrical action, it has gone through several political and aesthetic scenarios. Intangible and material heritage of Brazilian culture, the company goes beyond its role as a performing arts creation centre, fighting for 43 years for the emancipation of the land around the theatre for the creation of Bixiga River Park.
