So get ready to enjoy Moana, Frozen, Viva! Life is a Party, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled and much more in a very different way. The performances take place at Maracanãzinho, from June 19 to 23!
Language
How can you create a bilingual theater show (in Portuguese and Libras) that doesn’t make the condition of deafness the central theme of the story? This is just one of the challenges of “Língua”, which opens on June 6 at Sesc Copacabana.
The play takes place during a birthday celebration and shows the relationships developed by a deaf taxi driver. Thus, the desire to say something and the impossibility of being understood, no matter in what language, are the central issues of the story.
Every Night
The exhibition ‘Toda Noite’ features a series of works celebrating 33 years of artistic activity by photographer, essayist and curator Vicente de Mello.
For this show, the public can expect “a night that repeats itself indefinitely”, with the most diverse shades of chiaroscuro, produced with various photographic techniques. The exhibition runs until June 30 at the Federal Justice Cultural Center ( CCJF ).
Casa Warner
For the first time in Rio de Janeiro, Casa Warner already has a date and place: it will take place from June 14, at Shopping Nova América, in Del Castilho.
The experience gives fans the chance to immerse themselves in their favorite series, films and characters, with interactive sets and more! In addition, the highlight of this edition is the special tribute to Batman, celebrating the legacy of this iconic character who celebrates his 85th birthday this year.
Yvy Marãey – The Land Without Evil
On the other side of the bridge, a very cool and important exhibition is also taking place at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Niterói.
Starting this month, the MAC will host the exhibition ‘Yvy Marãey – A Terra Sem Males’ (Yvy Marãey – The Land Without Evil), an unprecedented series that delves into the ancestral roots of the Guarani people, through the lens of photographer Daniel Sul. In addition, the Mata Verde Bonita Village, located in Maricá, is the setting and inspiration for the creation of the exhibition. Oh, and on Wednesdays it’s free to visit!
