Ana and Tadeu have been married for fifteen years and have a son, the boy Jorge. Urban violence sets off a chain of events that irreversibly changes the lives and subjectivities of these characters. With the marriage in ruins, Tadeu returns to collect his belongings and move out. However, he finds the house caught in a crossfire. Confined, Ana and Tadeu smooth over the last rough edges of a relationship hemmed in by affection, pain, and the very violence that cuts through and constrains them.

Cia. ÚNICA de Teatro was conceived in 2018 by Júnior Dias and Júlia Lorrana, a period during which the group began its research, development, and staging work. In December 2019, it debuted with the sketch “Joca e os Brinquedos” (Joca and the Toys) and has since continued its activities. In 2021, Cia. ÚNICA launched its new production, “A Aventura de Joca” (Joca’s Adventure), virtually on its YouTube channel, alongside the documentary series “Por Trás das Cortinas” (Behind the Curtains), which documented the staging process and reached over 1,000 people across all audiences.

In 2024, the Company premiered its most recent production, “Akoko Lati Wa Ni – Tempo de Ser” (Akoko Lati Wa Ni – Time to Be), which was developed through collaborative workshops for performers and art-makers, in partnership with TPC – Teatro Preto de Candomblé and Oyá L’ade Inan Ponto de Cultura.

“My Body Is Here” is a theater performance featuring actors with disabilities openly talking about their relationships, bodies, and desires, based on their personal experiences.
The cast includes Bruno Ramos, who is deaf-mute, Haonê Thinar, with an amputation, Juliana Caldas, who has dwarfism, Pedro Fernandes, who has cerebral palsy with preserved cognitive ability and is a wheelchair user, and Jadson Abrãao, an actor and sign language interpreter.
Directing and playwriting are Julia Spadaccini, who is speaking deaf, and Clara Kutner.
The play “My Body Is Here” brings an original theme: affection and sexuality in bodies with disabilities. It is an unprecedented theme on stage and dives into reflecting on these bodies that are “marginal”, silenced, and socially denied. The body of a person with a disability is rarely explored as an object of love or sex, whether on stage, on TV, or in the movies.
Theater needs to do its part!
