Marcha à Re

Teatro da Vertigem (Brasil), Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art - KUNST-WERKE BERL (Germany), Festival Internacional de Artes Cênicas Porto Alegre em Cen (Brasil)

In cooperation with the 11th Berlin Biennale and the International Performing Arts Festival Porto Alegre em Cena, Teatro da Vertigem is realizing an artistic intervention for the public space, which will be site-specific in both places of presentation, Berlin and Porto Alegre.

The project’s central idea is to create an urban performance in the form of a march, bringing together a choir, local actors from the respective city, and the public.

The main idea of the project Marcha a ré (Reverse gear) by Teatro da Vertigem was conceived based on the current socio-political situation in Brazil. It responds to the authoritarian acts against science, against human rights, against freedom of speech and art, as well as against the Afro-Brazilian community, the indigenous minority and the LGBTQ community. The performance is meant to be a public gesture for the over 170,000 Covid deaths; a way to show solidarity and a tribute to those who could not be mourned.
