Teatro Dulcina hosts cultural events.
Funarte's space in Cinelândia hosts the Dulcina Abraça o Sul project; the first performance is this Wednesday at 19 pm; the only Shakespearean text to be performed will be staged by the Stravaganza Company; the program continues over the weekend.
Agência Brasil - Starting this Wednesday (11), Teatro Dulcina, in Cinelândia, downtown Rio, will host an artistic occupation project that will bring to the Rio public, at affordable prices, shows from the main theater companies from Rio Grande do Sul, in addition to offering free courses, workshops and guided tours. The Dulcina Abraça o Sul project will present in the traditional theater, one of the three belonging to the National Art Foundation (Funarte) in the city, productions that, despite being successful in Rio Grande do Sul, did not have the opportunity to reach the Rio circuit.
Created by the production company Culturama, together with the main theater companies of Rio Grande do Sul, the project is part of Funarte's guideline to bring the public closer to the theater. "We envision an occupation entirely focused on audience development, creating spaces for the community, students, and visitors from the surrounding area," highlights the occupation's coordinator, Pablo Oliveira.
The opening of the program, at 19 pm today, will be a unique performance of The Comedy of Errors, a text by William Shakespeare, staged by the Stravaganza Company, directed by Adriana Mottola. On the following weekends, from April 13th to 22nd, the attraction will be the play Isaiah in Tese, by the Depósito de Teatro company. Until the end of July, more than ten companies from Rio Grande do Sul will take turns on the Dulcina stage, presenting dramatic and humorous texts by national and international authors.
Tickets will cost R$ 20 and R$ 10 (half-price), but on Fridays the plays will be free. “We want to give the public the opportunity to actively participate in Dulcina's programming,” says Pablo Oliveira. With the same objective, on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week, actors from the project will walk through Cinelândia performing short skits, three to five minutes long, to promote the program.
On Wednesdays, there will be free workshops in theater, circus, and dance, and on Thursdays, the course "The Construction of the Spectacle," lasting four months, will also be free. Also on Thursdays, from 14 PM to 17 PM, there will be a free guided tour with actress Fernanda Nascimento dressed as Dulcina de Moraes (1908-1996), a grande dame of Brazilian theater who acquired the Rio de Janeiro performance hall in 1952, which has belonged to Funarte since 1977.
