Bengaluru and New Delhi to host acclaimed Brazilian production in February 2026
New Delhi: Brazilian theatre production Passado Presente Zenturo is set to make its international debut in 2026, representing Brazil at two major global theatre platforms — the 25th Bharat Rang Mahotsav in India and the 5th GITIS FEST in Russia.
Developed from Marcha para Zenturo by acclaimed Brazilian playwright Grace Passô and inspired by Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters, Passado Presente Zenturo weaves Brazilian and international theatrical traditions into a compelling exploration of time, memory, and collective experience. The production showcases the vitality and artistic depth of Brazilian student theatre on the global stage.
As part of Bharat Rang Mahotsav, one of the world’s most prestigious international theatre festivals organised by the National School of Drama under the ministry of culture, Government of India, the production will be staged in Bengaluru on February 5, and in New Delhi on February 7, 2026.
The production will also represent Brazil at the 5th edition of GITIS FEST in Moscow in April 2026, further strengthening cultural exchange and collaboration between Brazilian theatre and leading global performing arts institutions.
Passado Presente Zenturo has already earned critical recognition in Brazil, following an extensive national tour in 2024 and a dedicated season at TUSP Theatre in 2025. The production received praise for its ensemble-driven performance, innovative staging, and contemporary reinterpretation of classical and modern texts.
Directed by André Haidamus, the production features a cast of ten actors. The creative team includes Camila Andrade (lighting design) and Cássio Gondim (sound and video design), whose work plays a central role in shaping the production’s immersive theatrical language.
With its upcoming performances in India and Russia, Passado Presente Zenturo marks a significant milestone for Brazilian theatre, reaffirming its capacity for dialogue, experimentation, and meaningful international collaboration.
