MITsp – Mostra Internacional de Teatro de São Paulo holds its ninth edition between March 1 and 10, 2024 in thirteen cultural spaces in the city of São Paulo. The program includes nine shows and a diverse schedule of workshops, debates and talks throughout the ten days of the event. The selection of works and activities, which bring necessary provocations about our time, is the responsibility of the actors and playwrights Rafael Steinhauser, Antônio Araújo and Guilherme Marques.

Among the shows, the following stand out Eunucos by Group Irmãs Brasil, formed by transvestite artists from the Escola Livre de Artes da Maré (RJ), which reflects on the historical processes of castration, transition technologies and gender performances, and Profético (we are born – already) by Ivorian artist Nadia Beugré, who portrays the relationships of black bodies, transsexuality and prejudice in different forms.

As for the formative activities, the festival will have the presence of actress Renata Carvalho in the workshop on transvestite body and voice, as part of the section Pedagogical Actions which aims to investigate new ways of producing and transmitting knowledge through spaces for encounters and reflections on performance art. The activities in this section are free, some by registration, and will take place on March 5, 6 and 7 at Teat(r)o Oficina Uzyna Uzona and at Biblioteca Mário de Andrade.

And finally, the educator, artist and politician Erica Malunguinho moderates the masterclass with the performer and visual multi-artist Jota Mombaça, who will talk about subjectivations and corporeities as propositions of language and expanded epistemologies, at the Centro Cultural São Paulo, on March 9th.
