From Nov 13–30, the Firjan SESI Performing Arts Showcase brings free circus and dance performances to Futuros – Art and Technology in Rio.
Futuros – Art and Technology, in Flamengo, hosts the Firjan SESI Performing Arts Showcase starting November 13, featuring 11 free circus and dance performances for the whole family. Shows run Thursday through Sunday until November 30, with free tickets available on Sympla.
Art, ancestry, and motherhood on stage
The selected works, supported by the Firjan SESI Culture Call and the Futuros Institute, address themes such as ancestry, motherhood, resistance, and inclusion, exploring diverse forms of scenic expression.
Highlights include the dance piece “Terreno Fértil”, performed by young dancers from the Na Ponta dos Pés project, portraying the strength of women who turn adversity into empowerment through a fusion of contemporary, classical, Afro, and urban dance styles.
Among the circus performances, “Mãe Riso” follows the humorous journey of clown Socorro (Lívia Feltre) as she searches for her maternal instinct, blending laughter and reflection on motherhood.
Cultural investment and diversity
“The long-standing partnership between Futuros – Art and Technology and Firjan SESI grows stronger each year and reaffirms our commitment to culture in the state. The diverse program brings together productions from different regions of Rio, offering innovation and artistic variety,” says Victor D’Almeida, Culture Manager at the Futuros Institute.
According to Antenor Oliveira, Culture and Art Manager at Firjan SESI, over R$ 720,000 were invested in new productions of dance, circus, and theater. “Our goal is to foster artistic creation across the state, providing full infrastructure for performances and reinforcing the value of the Creative Industry,” he explains.
