Santa Companhia of Theatre
IN SANTA COMPANHIA
Santa was born in 2014 with the mission of creating theatrical works that democratize access to culture through the deepening and expansion of its ongoing research, the rite-manifesto, shared and co-created with the public through artistic and pedagogical practice.
The stylistic research proposed as rite-manifesto delves into the realms of rites, myths, manifestations, festivals, and technologies, through the lens of the worldview of Anthropophagy, proposed by Oswald de Andrade, and Psychomagic, proposed by the Chilean Alejandro Jodorowsky.

The Rite-Manifesto proposes to create around myths that are ritualized, celebrated, embodied, and manifested in the bodies of the company, and that, when shared, activate symbols and signs capable of alchemizing and transmuting latent questions of human life. Oswald de Andrade, with his Anthropophagic Movement, reveals a path of creation that can only be understood when placed in the body.
With a worldview where everything is devoured, added, and multiplied, Oswald shows us a critical and free theater, sacred and profane, that explores the visual, kinesthetic, sonic, gustatory, and sensitive. A practice born from a creative relationship that denies nothing and that, dancing without resistance to circumstances, with all stimuli, moves and creates.
