Teatro de Vertigem

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Teatro da Vertigem, Editora Cobogó presents a publication featuring essays by critics, playwrights and thinkers who reflect on the ways and means of the theatre group’s creations. Throughout its striking artistic journey, a language hybrid including site-specific and urban performances, the group led by Antônio Araújo has opened space in their collaborative creations for scenic and dramaturgic possibilities in different city spaces.
