Orlando

In the organizer's words:

Orlando

Dramatization of the novel by Virginia Woolf

No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more I love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
(The lover speaks about the monsters)
Annie Lennox

Brazilian director and performance artist Rodrigo Garcia Alves stages Virginia Woolf's fantastic novel as a journey through time and gender that questions conventions and celebrates the spirit of resistance and resilience. Orlando's story has planted the seeds of playfulness, resistance to conformism and renewal in the hearts of many generations of readers and theatergoers. The inclusion of dance and performance art pushes the boundaries of conventional spoken theater, as does the soundtrack, which showcases musical icons and subcultural influences. Orlando is a love letter, but also a testament to how nature shows us that there are no limits to identity, time and imagination.
