with excerpts from the film Cabra marcado para morrer d'Eduardo Coutinho

Christiane Jatahy takes us to rural communities in the state of Bahia, Brazil with an adaptation of Torto Arado, a novel by Itamar Vieira Junior (2019), mixed with extracts from Cabra marcado para morrer, a film by Eduardo Coutinho, and fieldwork documentary images. Accompanied by a percussionist, three young women talk about life in the countryside and the struggle for land rights. Going back in time, they show how structural racism and the legacy of slavery survive in today’s society. Jatahy's story, enriched with elements of magical realism, is both political and intimate.

Christiane Jatahy was born in Rio de Janeiro. Within the Companhia Vértice, which she founded in 2004, she constructs devices that cross the resources of theatre and cinema, and works on the porosity between the actor and the character.

An internationally renowned artist, she has made a name for herself in Europe with Julia and What if They Went to Moscow? based on Strindberg's Mademoiselle Julie and Chekhov's Three Sisters.

Associate artist at the Odéon since 2016, she has presented A Floresta que anda (The Walking Forest), after Macbeth, and a diptych inspired by Homer: Ithaca (Our Odyssey 1) (2018) and The Present that Overflows (2019). In 2021, she will create Entre chien et loup , based on Dogville by Lars von Trier, the first chapter of the 'trilogy of horrors', devoted to the mechanisms of Bolsonaro's rise. This was followed by Before the Sky Falls, created at the Schauspielhaus in Zurich and again inspired by Macbeth; and Depois do silêncio (2022, with the Centquatre), which explores the history of slavery and land exploitation in Brazil. In January 2022, she was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for her body of work in theatre
