“TARSILA — THE BRAZILIAN” returns to Vivo Rio from September 10 to 13, following its tremendous success with audiences.
Produced by Cláudia Raia and Jarbas Homem de Melo, the production brings to the stage the life and legacy of one of Brazil’s greatest artists of all time: Tarsila do Amaral—a woman ahead of her time, a symbol of modernity and creativity, and a key figure in the creation of a truly Brazilian identity in the history of art.
For Cláudia Raia, portraying Tarsila is much more than taking on a character. It is both an honor and a responsibility to represent a woman who transformed the way Brazil saw itself and how the world came to recognize Brazilian art. Cláudia brings to the role her strength, stage presence, sensitivity, and extraordinary talent, going beyond mere interpretation to create a Tarsila who is vibrant, human, and profoundly Brazilian.
Alongside her, Jarbas Homem de Melo once again demonstrates his extraordinary artistic ability, contributing to a production that brings together acting, music, dance, dramaturgy, and a sophisticated theatrical language. The partnership between Cláudia and Jarbas is one of the show’s greatest highlights, revealing chemistry, technical mastery, and a shared passion for the arts.
Tarsila do Amaral represents a fundamental chapter in Brazil’s cultural history. Her work helped establish a modern Brazilian aesthetic, characterized by the appreciation of our landscapes, people, colors, symbols, and roots. Her importance, however, was not limited to Brazil: Tarsila also achieved international recognition and engaged in dialogue with important artistic movements and artists of her time.
For this reason, “TARSILA — THE BRAZILIAN” deserves to transcend national borders. It is a production with the strength, quality, and cultural significance to be presented abroad, bringing to international stages the story of a woman who helped place Brazilian art on the world map.
The success of the production demonstrates that Tarsila’s story remains alive and continues to move new generations. And having Cláudia Raia and Jarbas Homem de Melo at the helm of this production offers a special opportunity to celebrate not only a great Brazilian artist, but also the talent of two of the most important names in Brazilian musical theatre.
From September 10 to 13, at Vivo Rio, Tarsila is back.
A tribute to art. To culture. To Brazilian women.
And to an artist who, like Brazil itself, never stopped reinventing herself.
“TARSILA — THE BRAZILIAN”: a historic production that deserves to be seen, celebrated, and brought to the world.
