Founded in 2001 by Lenerson Polonini in partnership with Carina Casuscelli, the company develops a continuous research work based on the performance, the arts of the body and the visual arts universe. The Companhia Nova de Teatro is an open company and to each new project invites actors, dancers and artists from different areas to collaborate with its productions. The multimedia theater developed by the company seeks to explore the three-dimensionality of the stage and the relationship of art and urgent social issues.
The performances privilege the physical aspect of the actor in the scene, where they do not represent “papers”, but they function as icons, images and vehicles through which the public receives a multiplicity of visual and auditory events, as if it were inside a stimulus box synchronized sensorial.
Over nearly 25 years dedicated to experimental theater in the city of São Paulo, the group has presented its plays across Brazil and at festivals and theaters in countries such as the United States, Greece, Italy, Romania, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Uruguay, Germany, India, Tunisia, among others.
