about

Conceived to continue our theatrical research, rite-manifesto, this season features 16 episodes divided into three programs that unfold from the pluriverse of anthropophagy, technology, social struggles, and Dionysian fervor—all coming together to gather and sow new encounters, connections, and deeper studies on figures that shape our collective imagination.
