Voice of the Land

Synopsis

Fala da Terra [Voice of the Land] develops around Coletivo Banzeiros, a theater group from Pará in the north of Brazil formed by members of the MST [Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra/ Landless Workers' Movement] engaged in forms of education and political militancy. Focusing on the techniques of democratization of the scenic means of production of Teatro do Oprimido by Augusto Boal, the piece occupies a territory between documentary and fiction and seeks to understand the construction of the 'Sem Terra' culture and collective identity through its artistic expressions.
