Ap\u00e1tridas (Stateless) by Companhia Nova de Teatro gives voice to displaced people, migrants and refugees by creating theatre with, rather than about, those directly affected. Inspired by classical mythological figures such as Cassandra, Hecuba, Prometheus and Hercules, the performance uses these universal stories as an entry point to explore urgent contemporary human crises. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The work is structured as four interconnected solos in which performers\u2014including actors from Angola and Brazil\u2014reflect on themes of identity and the loss of home. Through these personal and collective voices, the harsh realities of migration, displacement and the fragmentation of societies are brought into focus. Combining live performance with visual language and digital media, Ap\u00e1tridas explores how people relate to land, community and future in a world increasingly shaped by borders and exclusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By weaving intimate stories into wider social and political contexts, the performance invites audiences to reflect on what home means, and how identity and humanity are shaped amid crisis and constant movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over nearly 25 years dedicated to experimental theater in the city of S\u00e3o 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.
