BRAZILIAN, POLISH, GERMAN AND FRENCH THEATRES, OCTOBER 2006 TO SEPTEMBER 2007.

 

Gonzagas, who are we?

The spectacle we presented in the year of 2006 can be understood as an aesthetic research about the identity and subjectivity of the northeastern people facing the day to day needs and the search for oneself through the songs of Luiz Gonzaga and Luiz Gonzaga Junior (Gonzaguinha).

 

In “Gonzagas”, we catched a glimpse of the possibility to, in a spectacle built around the work of father and son, to approach the subject of the identity of northeastern men and women, who in their daily lives, alienate themselves – from their wants, aspirations and intimate desires – as means to satisfy their most imediate needs. We revisit, even though not deeply, the exodus – the walk of the “sem chuva” (people who abandon their small farms due to the lack of rain) – always hoping to return to their land.

 

Gonzaga, therefore, is every single Coral da UFC participant who throws him or herself at the bottomless pit of being human and, in free fall, finds out that being a person is all about singing, living, loving and being Gonzaga. As we become Gonzaga ourselves, we fall into the well of life without worrying about reaching it's  bottom. We refuse to believe in old certainties – the shallow well of preconceived thoughts – to go even deeper.

 

Let's all be Gonzaga together. Those of you who accept this invitation, can celebrate with us, in our hearts, our muse Dona Leilah Carvalho Costa.

 

We're many gonzagas. We're from Ceará. We're from the world. We're Coral da UFC.
