Follow on Google News | Staged Reading of The Seven Kittens Launches Brazil Reads BrasilEvoé to produce a staged reading of Nelson Rodrigues' The Seven Kittens directed by Debora Balardini. The divine comedy is among the provocative works to draw awareness to family dysfunction and human rights.
By: Evoe Collective & Grouo .BR Both Balardini and Evoé, which was founded by Bárbara Eliodorio, Isabella Pinheiro, Laila Garroni, and Ma Troggian, share a common vision of promoting awareness through Brazilian theater, culture, and original content with an eye on the international stage. As a thirty-year veteran in the arts and theater and a director on the rise, Balardini, who is recently more culturally aware, anticipates the performance by noting the universal message in Rodrigues' timeless material: "Nelson Rodrigues' blunt and rough ways of writing put reality right in the face of the audience." Balardini will work closely with the cast of 11 professional actors on the classic Brazilian tragedy at PUNTO Space, the event and performance raw space she co-founded in in 2014. Balardini, who recently directed Bother Line, a one-woman show based on the work of Clarise Lispector, who wrote under the pseudonym of Helen Palmer, states, "I have been much more in touch with my Brazilian roots through works with Group .BR, solo artist Gio Mielle, and now with Evoé Collective in this [staged] reading. I wouldn't call my discovery of this opportunity to direct a coincidence but rather an intuitive path and extension of my mission to support artists' unique voices and bridge awareness through the arts. I crave the ability to bring this work into physical expression and, more than ever, for the audience to immerse themselves with me as a director as a part of the journey into the piece."
