Theater of the Sacred: Resistance in the Zona Sul

SESC Campo Limpo

The Serviço Social do Comércio (Social Service of Commerce) is best known by the acronym SESC. It is a non-profit private institution founded by business leaders in industries tied to goods, services, and tourism. They have centers all over Brazil that provide services in the areas of education, health, culture, and leisure, and they are one of the largest funders of the arts in Brazil. Many of these centers have art exhibit spaces, classrooms, theaters, and sports facilities. 

Teatro Terreiro Encantado performed Auto do Negrinho in the outdoor theater space at the SESC center in the Campo Limpo district in the south side periphery.  The performance was part of the Circuito CITA Festival, which was an arts festival hosted by CITA (Canto de Integraçao de Todas as Artes) in July 2022. The festival showcased performances, workshops, and roundtables by artists and intellectuals from São Paulo's periphery. CITA (Corner for the Integration of All Arts) is an organization and cultural space located in Campo Limpo that hosts events, workshops, and rehearsals for different artistic collectives in the periphery.
