A group of people sits at a table for a meal. Someone announces it will be the last. The group will no longer exist. It’s a farewell. It could be fiction, but it isn’t always. Tonight, no one will be saved.
MEXA is an artistic collective formed in 2015 following episodes of violence in homeless shelters in São Paulo. The collective explore the boundaries between reality and fiction, autobiography, documentary, and theater of the real. Over the years, some of its members have disappeared.
In MEXA’s new performance, directed by João Turchi, the collective draws from Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of the same name to revisit—through their own lived experiences—the idea of death, resurrection, and the possibility of creating a final image for a group that is about to end. Combining celebration, transmission and solidarity, MEXA makes theatre into a living ritual, in which the stage becomes a space for sharing and recollection.
