FAROFA 2026 10ª Ed.!!
SAVE THE DATE!
If you've been missing it, shout out, clap your hands, grab a megaphone, and come on over, because Farofa is back!!!!
Now in its 10th edition, Farofa remains committed to bringing people together, focusing on artistic processes and the relationships between people, works of art, and their surroundings. That's why the 2026 edition couldn't happen anywhere else but Bixiga.
Bixiga is not a setting: it is a disputed territory. Before it was a neighborhood, it was a quilombo. Later, it was marked by Italian migration. Today, it is crossed by Arab, Asian, African, and Latin American communities, in addition to welcoming migrants from various regions of Brazil. A suburb in the center of São Paulo, where mobility and encounters coexist with a deep history of black resistance, constantly pressured by erasure and expulsion.
The 10th edition of Farofa takes place in the block where Casa Farofa is located, activating and connecting independent cultural spaces that make Bixiga a living territory of creation.
In addition to Casa Farofa, the edition occupies Teatro do Incêndio, Teatro Manás Laboratório, the headquarters of Cia Estelar Teatro, and Teatro da Vertigem.
The occupation of the block affirms the territory as a network, circulation, and permanence—a collective practice against the isolation and disappearance of cultural spaces.
⚡ So, mark your calendars: from March 7 to 15, there will be Farofa all over Bixiga — and you won't want to miss it.
GET READY, DARLING, IT'S ABOUT TO START! ⚡
*FAROFA* is a movement born from the perspective of production.
It was created in 2020 in response to a challenge from the International Theater Festival of São Paulo – MITsp: the idea of having an “off scene,” a parallel festival that would serve as an alternative for the audience and programmers.
From this initial provocation/experience, and through the following 8 editions, we raised hypotheses and tested each one in search of clues that would lead to the concept of the *LANGUAGE OF PRODUCTION*.
*FAROFA* exists only because we, Corpo Rastreado, exist every day together, doing whatever it takes within production to create contexts, open spaces, and keep work in the performing arts moving.
Thus, in this absolutely collective environment that is Corpo Rastreado, since we are a collective of producers insisting and existing every day, *FAROFA* becomes an experiment and a testing ground for everything we are thinking and creating daily.
With each edition, it emerges from the needs and urgencies perceived and read by production in its surroundings. Our perspective is from production. At this moment, *FAROFA* is focused on constructing dramaturgy within the production of the performing arts. It aims to position production as the central axis of discussion and resolution of the issues involved in creation, while also opening space to think about distribution, circulation, and mediation of the arts with society.
In 2025, we will continue investigating the artistic process, seeking to bring focus to what lies behind the finished work, and especially to the time of creation, allowing continuity to be art’s greatest ally.
