"Between the Cross and the Cane" premieres this Saturday at Cine-Teatro Ópera in Ponta Grossa

The show “Between the Cross and Bengal: an unclear adventure” premieres this Saturday (12), at 8 pm, at the Cine-Teatro Ópera, in Ponta Grossa. Featuring free entry, the Coletivo Cacareco mount features an unusual pilgrimage set in medieval Germany.

The story follows three blind men who, tired of the life of beggars and worried about the arrival of yet another harsh winter, decide to go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Driven by the search for redemption and the hope of regaining sight, the three characters face different challenges throughout the journey.

The proposal brings to the stage elements and references of the Middle Ages to build a narrative marked by the situations experienced by the characters along the way.

Show is the result of two years of work

The assembly that arrives to the public on Saturday is the result of approximately two years of studies and research carried out by Coletivo Cacareco.

During this period, previous presentations were part of the process of experimentation and construction of the show. Now, the group presents the final version of the Ponta Grossa assembly to the public.

Last weekend, “Between the Cross and Bengal” was also presented at a festival held at São Paulo.

Directed by Rafael Pedretti and adapted by Renan Sota. The cast consists of David Dias, Renan Sota and Viviane Oliveira.

Production brings together professionals from different areas

In addition to the work of the actors, the assembly has a team responsible for the different elements that make up the presentation.

The set is signed by Paulo Vinícius, while Viviane Oliveira is responsible for the costume. The props are produced by Viviane Oliveira and Renan Sota.

Enlightenment is by Bya Passão. The makeup is signed by Maurício Gabardo and K’roll Oliveira.

The sonoplasty is by Ariel Rodrigues, with sound operation by Maurício Gabardo.
