SYNOPSIS

On a day of celebration, an ordinary man, after arguing with God, revisits his own history and asks how he might have avoided a tragedy. Moving between the countryside and the city, Teatro Gueroba investigates responses to the pandemic and the reactivity of a polarized political landscape. Life and death, the passage of time, and what remains of hope shape a dramaturgy about a multifaceted Brazil and the risk of extinction facing the Cerrado, where the group is based. Crosses in red soil, numbers carved into planks, pau-brasil wood, and the gueroba palm that regrows with the rain: real stories intersect with Darcy Ribeiro, Folia de Reis, and ancestral Black and Indigenous traditions. The work transforms collective mourning into memory, body, and territory.
