The play "Deriva" by the Súbita Theatre Company commemorates the 18-year journey of this local curitiba group and will be featured in the main program of the 34th edition of the Curitiba Festival. Scheduled for April 6 and 7 at 6:30 PM at Theater José Maria Santos in Curitiba, the performance is part of the Lucia Camargo Showcase. It has been created specifically to celebrate the company's coming of age and aims to provide a sensory and reflective experience about the relationship between body and city.

"Deriva" transforms the simple act of walking into a poetic and political gesture, encouraging the audience to slow down, notice details, and rediscover familiar places in a new light. Drawing inspiration from geographer Milton Santos' idea that "the center of the world is everywhere," the performance integrates elements of theater and contemporary dance to delve into the complexities and potentials of urban space. The dramatization, crafted by Maíra Lour and Pablito Kucarz, serves as a scenic cartography that layers various narratives and interpretations of the environment.

As the play showcases, the intersection of art and urban experience invites spectators to challenge their perceptions of space and community. By emphasizing reflection on the environment and communal ties, "Deriva" not only celebrates the company's legacy but also underscores the ongoing dialogue between culture and urban life in Curitiba, making it a notable highlight of the festival that resonates with both local and broader audiences in Brazil.
