1. DÚbámMÍÍ
synopsis:
In the DÚbá world, each one plays a specific role in the DÚbámMÍÍ factory. In here, things gain and lose meaning, as if the concepts of creation and destruction were the same. Starting from strange and sometimes chaotic episodic frames, the dúbáanas go through states of madness, shock, anger and pain, as annihilating perversity takes over everything. This play is a protest against all the perfect and imperfect pieces that are crushed and swallowed up.

3. Sàngbá fọ́
synopsis:
Civilization has progressed to a state where we are every day hastening the process of our imminent demise, as a party destined to eliminate all forms of life (regardless of biological classifications). In this performance session, the fragility of life and our presumed safety is focused on and visited with Artaud's 1932 Manifesto of the Theatre of Cruelty. Not as a provocation, but as an exclamation and a request for reflection on the path that we, society, are traveling, especially in our relationship with the world as a peak and not as part of a rhizome.
Sàngbá fọ́ (Woe is me) is a Yoruba phrase of exclamation, the opening of a entry into spaces of shock, loss, grief and sadness. The modern world and its systems have put us in the place of the chick, which heads for the garbage to eat, without acknowledging its mother's warning....

4. Pequenas Coisas Infinitas
synopsis:
Small Infinite Things is a happening in which the public is invited to use cell phone flashlights to transform plastic, glass, paper or organic waste into shadows and reflections, creating large-scale visual patterns. Based on the premise that all objects are infinite in their possibilities and potential, Pequenas Coisas Infinitas raises awareness of extending the useful life of objects and personal relationships through the reuse of waste and the development of a collective spirit.
