Major events inevitably have their audience as a determining factor in their success or failure. It is the story of those many anonymous people who refused to just look and, for better or worse reasons, imposed concrete reality on that of the imagination that we want to bring to the attention of today’s public, recalling a part of what once was in other corners of history.

“We are on a path that could lead us to any destination but success. That of an unpleasant theater.”
Nelson Rodrigues

Truta no Buraco is a company formed by a group of people who, over the last few years, have been consolidating a style and an artistic team with the aim of thinking socially about life and culture, awakened to the insight that our condition demands it. We are not privileged by solitude.

We harbor the conviction that this group is genuinely committed to producing critical thinking about the world through a culture that is more accessible and less politically appealing and cheesy. And so, quixotically, we have been improving ourselves in the intricacies of the arts to which, for all our sins, we have decided to dedicate ourselves.

In this time of Ubus, we’d like to take the opportunity, while the blood is still flammable, to waste it on the theater. That’s all.
