Marcio Abreu’s current artistic research focuses on difference as a central experience of human life and in coexistence beyond the limitations of global geopolitical structures. The disparity between north-south from a Brazilian perspective, the aftermath of colonialism and practices of neo-colonialism play just as much a role thereby as black-facing, blackness and Othering within the context of everyday racism. Abreu intertwines theatre with visual art, philosophy with literature, music with anthropology. The open rehearsal provides insight into the artists’ work.
