The play
from São Paulo is part of the ArcelorMittal Diversão em Cena program in Vitoria
and will take place on August 7, with two theatre sessions at the Gloria Sesc
Cultural Centre (Gloria Theatre), free of charge.
The fourth ArcelorMittal Diversão em
Cena program performance tells the story of a boy in a wheelchair called
Guilherme, interpreted by Luciano Brandão, who transforms the lack of
accessibility for disabled students in a great and fun adventure inside the
classroom, during “Break Time”.
The play, with a theme focused on
education and inclusion, is directed by Fernando Lyra Jr. He uses the object
theatre technique to provide movement to the scenes, transforming the classroom
materials and objects into anything whatever the character imagines.
The play is free of charge, sponsored by
ArcelorMittal Foundation, and takes place on August 7th at 3 and 5 pm, at the
Gloria Sesc Cultural Centre in downtown Vitória. The second sessions will have
a sign language translator to be more accessible. The tickets, two per person,
will be made available from August 2nd, at the theatre box office,
from 10 am to 7 pm.
The Diversão em Cena program is
committed to making culture available to all, taking free or popular price
performances to theatres, schools and public spaces in more than 60 towns. The
initiative is possible thanks to ArcelorMittal sponsorship via Federal Law to
Incentive Cultural Projects and locally managed by WB Produções.
More on the play:
The character Guilherme shares his stories
and dreams with the audience, transforming the apparently limited classroom
environment into a universe with no borders for magic, full of games and many
stories. Everything around him is transformed into imaginary friends and
unusual toys. The director of the play, Fernando Lyra Jr. uses the object
theatre technique to provide movement to the scenes, transforming the classroom
materials and objects into anything the character imagines.
Together with his inseparable friend
Barbosa (the science class skeleton), Guilherme tells funny stories to the
audience! The one about the girl who ate too much and fell into a hole, the one
about the dog that wanted to be a turtle and was kidnapped by ETs, Guilherme
becomes a TV presenter who narrates the landing of the rocket “pencil” on the
planet “apple”. A fan of pranks, he tells the story of the time when he stuck
chewing gum on the bathroom walls and got a scolding from the school principal.
Between one story and another, between
bites in the sandwich from his lunchbox, he imagines and designs his
supersonic-space-rocket-wheelchair – with rear view mirrors, spare tire, leg
stretcher and water jet to scare dogs: a wheelchair that flies, with which he
intends to get to places faster and explore other universes. This all happens
before the bell rings to announce the end of the break and it is time to “get
back to the classroom”.
Summary:
'Break Time' is a play full of fun and
enjoyment. In the plot Guilherme – a boy with an incredible imagination – cannot
wait for the school accessible ramps to be ready for him to finally be able to
go down to the yard piloting his wheelchair at full speed as a racing car and
play with his classmates. But while his mobility is restricted, he uses his
“private” break to dream and dare in his adventures using his imagination.
