about
In 2021, still during the pandemic, we were awarded the Prêmio Maria Alice Vergueiro (Module I of the Lei Emergencial Aldir Blanc). This grant provided the foundation for our work that year. All activities were carried out to deepen and share our research on Anthropophagy.
To begin, we revisited the Seminários Antropófagos (Anthropophagic Seminars) and produced the 4-episode miniseries Researching Anthropophagy—a podcast offering an overview of:
Ritual Anthropophagy (an ancestral rite of some Indigenous peoples),
Cultural Anthropophagy (as proposed by the 1928 movement),
Oswaldian Cosmology (Oswald de Andrade’s later reflections on the theme in the 1940s–50s),
Tropicália & Cinema Novo (how Anthropophagy manifested from the 1960s to the 2000s),
The Ritual-Manifesto (how Santa Cia. applies this research in artistic practice).
The script, written by Rafael Abrahão, Pedro Coêntro, and Demétrio Abrahão, drew from Rafael’s academic research at UNESP’s Institute of Arts.
The entire creative process was conducted online—from rehearsals and recording to release—all documented below.
