“The uprising is not over”

2 years on from their rallying takeover ‘When It Breaks It Burns’ landing as part of our Going Global season – coletivA ocupação present an exclusive screening party for their new film Eruption.

Commissioned in 2020, Eruption documents a mixture of rehearsals and scenes filmed outside of São Paulo during an artistic residency in the Atlantic Rainforest. At a time of multiple global catastrophes, the performers create new bodies and forms of presence, using film, party, war, witchcraft and subversion.

Eruption will be screened on a loop in the Members Library every 20 mins from 7pm – 11pm.

Drop in, watch the film, then celebrate as we host a livestream DJ set all the way from Brazil presented by DJ Shaolin and DJ Akinn from coletivA ocupação in our Freedom Tap Room from 8pm – 10pm.

TRAILER

coletivA ocupação was created in 2017 by performers and artists who met during the uprising of the high school student protests and the occupations of public schools that occured in São Paulo, Brazil between 2015 and 2016.

Using rebellion and theatre, education and creation, coletivA ocupação became a way to explore different languages and narratives since the uprisings and urgent struggles of our time: bodies in revolt, which now occupy new spaces and narratives. The group has built a course of presentations and workshops for young people in major festivals and theaters in Brazil and Europe, such as the Festival de Curitiba, FIT (International Festival of Rio Preto), Cena Brasil Internacional, Festival de Londrina.
