“By turns lyrical, funny, surprising, tragic, Agreste (Drylands) achieves folkloric power.” - New Haven Review Content warning: bigotry, transphobia, arson.
In the drylands of northeast Brazil, a kingdom of sand and thirst, Maria and Etevaldo fall in love across a fence. After living together as husband and wife for 22 years, the sanctity of their union gets invaded by the gossip and gibes of a conservative community. Four storytellers breathe life into this tale of love and loss, desire and death, ignorance and illumination. Based on real events, Newton Moreno’s stunning narrative shows that love can bloom even in the harshest climate. Directed and translated by Danilo Gambini (new Associate Artistic Dir, Studio Theatre) and featuring Raghad Almakhlouf, Irene Hamilton, Kate Kenworthy, Miss Kitty. Approx 75min
