Poetic Pills: Short-form format. This season we focused on Psychomagic, writing original poetry inspired by tarot card readings. Each card inspired one episode.
The revealed cards: The Lovers - The Star - The Hermit - The Chariot
Poets: Igor Bueno, Pedro Coêntro and Rafael Abrahão
Voiced by the Karabaré cast: Ade Branco, Anna Meirici, Demétrio Abrahão, Luíza Abe, Pedro Coêntro, Rafael Abrahão, Rafael Pinto and Ricardo Rapozo

Living Readings: Long-form program where Santa Cia. performers study and dramatically read national or international theatrical texts, contemporary or classic, inspired by radio dramas.
This season's text: Open the Window and Let in Fresh Air and Morning Sun (by Antônio Bívar)

Special: In Santa Company: Initially conceived as an interview program, In Santa Company transformed into a frenetic, psychedelic variant following internet personalities Diogo Defante, Anderson Gaveta and Normose. This served not only to document our artistic processes but also to practice comedy and humor in our shared content.

Transmedia project
Released in 2022 and 2023 on all streaming platforms

In 2022, bemdita! continued its work by focusing on Psychomagic, a sister pillar to Anthropophagy in our research. This year we were fully immersed in creating the company's second ritual-manifesto performance: Karabaré: Poesia Enamorada (Karabaré: Poetry in Love). The podcast shared the creative process and developed poetic programs using the same methodology as the show's dramaturgical construction.

about

Beginning our studies on psychomagic and tarot, this third season adopts a more intimate and cozy format with fewer episodes. We focused on original creations based on our research of the Major Arcana in the Marseille Tarot.

We proposed to play with the Arcana to find inspiration for our Poetic Pills scripts and to select texts for Living Readings.

We also shared the creative and performance process of our new play - dramaturgically built from the Marseille Tarot - Karabaré: Poesia Enamorada in the special program In Santa Company.
