Synopsis:
What do African artists who have arrived in Brazil in recent years bring with them on their journey? How do the African diasporas – the new creative diaspora and the one that has turned the Atlantic into a cemetery – interact? What stages are occupied, built, and filled with the performances of artists who have crossed the ocean? Ancestralities are updated in performances that construct an Afropolitan present in a metropolis where it is necessary to be bold and color the gray. São Palco – Cidade Afropolitana presents the city of São Paulo as a meta-stage occupied by artists from Togo, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angola, among other African nations, in dialogue with the Brazilian population and its openness, contradictions, and tensions.
