A Scream in the Dark

By Companhia Nova de Teatro
Directed by Lenerson Poloni

World Premiere

A Scream in the Dark is a project by Companhia Nova de Teatro that investigates some aspects of military dictatorship and censorship in Brazil (1964-1985) – one of the most obscure periods from the recent history of the country. Based on political prisoners’ testimonies and letters filed in the National Archives of Brazil, this multimedia play casts a glance on women who were arrested and tortured during the Brazilian Military Regime.

Companhia Nova de Teatro was founded in 2001 by director Lenerson Polonini and the actress and costumer designer Carina Casuscelli, the company develops a continuous research encompassing performance, body arts and visual arts. Companhia Nova de Teatro is an open company which invites actors, dancers and artists from several fields to collaborate with its productions at every new project. The multimedia theater developed by Companhia Nova de Teatro explores the stage tridimensionality and connects art and urban space.

A Scream in the Dark is performed in Portuguese with English super-titles.
