Julia is neither theatre nor film, but rather a hybrid and – something else. This is not traditional theatre with “multimedial elements”. In this piece, theatre and film combine into a third genre. Pre-filmed sequences are shuffled with paparazzi-like live shots of intense moments with Julia and Jean, all clipped and edited during the performance. A new film is created every night, and audiences will be able to involve themselves in a number of takes of each scene.

Christiane Jatahy is one of Brazil’s most highly-praised directors. Her goal is to create a living, dynamic relationship with audiences. Since the beginning of the millennium, she has been exploring the relationships between audience and stage, reality and fiction, actors and characters.

Strindberg’s classic plot appears here in a hip neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, where the upper-class girl and the family chauffeur dance their fateful tango to the bitter end.

NOTE: Sexually explicit scenes.
