Sunday, September 24th - Performance ROOM 1 ROOM 2 Fuerza Bruta: BLIND Wayra Fuerza Bruta Wayra is a dynamic and immersive theater experience. It proposes to break the intellectual subjection of language. Use all the available media to operate effectively on the sensitivity of the viewer. Brings it to other territories where there are other more powerful laws. Space where the speed of the received stimulus surpasses the intellectual reaction and the emotion comes first. The spectator surrenders, knowing that it is part of an artistic fact, a parallel reality, ethereal, beautiful, delirious and absolutely truer than the every day, knowing that he being led to crash into his own sensibility. A sensitivity collective, universal, without translation, or anesthesia. Brutally happy.

The visual proposal is to criticize the grinding conditions so typical of all kinds of corporate work iconized in the social outfits that men and women wear in the great metropolises as an everyday armor. The debut of BLIND was on Paulista Avenue, followed by a performance in Rio de Janeiro in 2012. It was also performed in Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Funchal, New York, Prague, San José, Zurich, Taipei, and a few other global capitals. Desvio Coletivo is a network of creators in a contemporary theatrical scene that works in the border zone between theater, performance and urban intervention. Through the creation of performance, shows and scenic interventions in different urban spaces, the group develops actions that generate islands of ephemeral disorder of critical nature. Directed by Marcos Bulhões and Priscilla Toscano, and produced by Leandro Brasilio and Marie Auip, the group brings together more than twenty collaborators from different areas. Since 2011, the group has been researching collaborative scenic creation, aiming at experimenting with different modalities of sensorial, dialogical and creative participation of the viewer, displacing its conventional role, whether as an actor, co- creator of the scenic speech or as a member of a psychophysical immersion atmosphere.
