SYNOPSIS
The fresh original work of Ultraliricos premieres at MITsp. Directed by Felipe Hirsch, the work cultivates the idea that we are the offspring of a universe where every gesture has to be useful. And that the utility principle corrupts all parts of life, making us believe life itself has to be profitable. Useless (or “use-less”) things are the very purpose of life. Whoever wishes art to be of any use, those who demand utility want art to produce ideological profit. Art’s profit is the arrival of new objects in the world. Art is man’s only chance to experience a world beyond necessity. Art is an inutensile.
HISTORY
Founded in 2013 by playwright and theatre and film director Felipe Hirsch, Ultralíricos brings in its work reflections on urgent and current themes: education, violence, consumerism, political and ideological polarisation, the non-valuation of culture and the lack of historical awareness permeate the shows in an irreverent way. The collective has already performed plays such as tetralogy Puzzle (a; b; c; d), A Tragédia Latino-Americana e a Comédia Latino-Americana [The Latin American Tragedy and the Latin American Comedy], Selvageria [Savagery], Fim [End] and Língua Brasileira [Brazilian Language]. The group has toured countries such as Germany, Portugal and Chile, in addition to receiving awards such as Shell, Bravo! and Governador do Estado.
