Christiane Jatahy
Nach der Stille/Depois de Silêncio

  • Performance

There are those who possess land, freedom and identity, and those whose existence has no value. In order to tell of the unresolved colonial violence that continues to this day, Brazilian theatre-maker Christiane Jatahy combines the art forms of theatre and film in a surprising way. Together with her actresses, Jatahy goes deep into Brazil’s history. The violent alliance of racism and capitalism ranges from the transatlantic slave trade to Jair Bolsonaro’s current politics. The position of the European profiteers also seems to have hardly changed in the course of time. And so the production interweaves reality and fiction when the protagonists fight against such a world order and for the possibility of change. In “After Silence”, Jatahy follows the award-winning novel “Torto Arado” by author Itamar Vieira Júnior. With it, she continues her resistance against structural racism and the geopolitical realities built on it, with which she is earning her permanent place in Europe’s theatre landscape.
