Created by Kanhanga, the “Seja Incrível” performance tours Rio Grande do Sul’s Book Fairs as part of SESC RS’s cultural circuit.
The literary performance “Seja Incrível”, inspired by the book of the same name by writer Kanhanga, has been captivating audiences and encouraging reflections on self-esteem, resilience, and the power of words. The initiative is part of SESC RS’s project Nossa Arte Circula 2025, which brings art, literature, and culture to different regions of Rio Grande do Sul.
Literature as a tool for transformation
With poetic and provocative language, Kanhanga uses literature as a way to inspire reflection and self-discovery. The performance connects readers of all ages, strengthening the relationship between literature, identity, and emotion. “Seja Incrível” aims to inspire audiences to believe in their own potential and see art as a force for personal and social transformation.
This year’s edition has already passed through Frederico Westphalen, Erechim, and Carazinho, bringing together students, teachers, and literature enthusiasts for emotional and inspiring encounters.
Upcoming presentations
After participating in the Santa Cruz do Sul International Book Fair, the Esteio Book Fair, and the Afro Book Fair in Novo Hamburgo — where he was the patron — as well as his debut at the Porto Alegre Book Fair, Kanhanga continues to expand his literary journey. His next stops include the Taquara Book Fair on November 11 and the Uruguaiana Book Fair on December 3.
Through his performances, the author reaffirms his commitment to promoting literature and art as instruments of inclusion and social change. Follow his work on @kanhangaoficial.
