We invite everyone to the preview screening of the documentary INSURRENTOS, directed by Breno Sousa.
Breno is a researcher, ogã, and capoeirista. For the past three years, he has dedicated himself fully to the preservation and dissemination of traditional Afro-Brazilian culture. Through visual anthropology, he seeks to document memories and open up new horizons for research and the university, in dialogue with traditional and ancestral knowledge. The film is a production of LISA, resulting from his undergraduate research project "Jogo de Dentro, Jogo de Fora" (Inner Game, Outer Game), supervised by Rose Satiko Hikiji Gitirana.
Synopsis: For nearly 30 years, the Capoeira Angola group Guerreiros de Senzala, led by Luiz Antônio Nascimento Cardoso (Mestre Pinguim), has been active at the University of São Paulo. Operating independently, the collective fosters the convergence of traditional Afro-Brazilian knowledge, academic research, and artistic creation.
