“TARSILA — THE BRAZILIAN”: A Historic Celebration of Brazilian Art

“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.

TAKE THE SURVEY Thanks in advance! – Catherine -----Forwarded Message----- From: Catherine Cortez Masto Date: Sun, Aug 2, 2026 Subject: Friend, I value your input

Friend, I am proud to have always run grassroots campaigns made up of people just like you. When I won my last race by less than 1% of the vote and secured a Senate majority, it was because I had a committed team by my side. Now here we are again, gearing up for another competitive and consequential election cycle.  With that in mind, I am asking today not for your financial support but for your input: Will you take my Senate Strategy Survey now? TAKE THE SURVEY Hearing directly from people like you is incredibly important as my team and I plan to once again help Democrats win a Senate majority. You've been identified as one of our most committed supporters in your area, so it's really important that I hear from you. Please, friend, I'm personally asking, will you share your thoughts with me by midnight tonight? Flipping the Senate is our best hope of stopping Donald Trump's extreme agenda, and we all need to do our part. Thank you so much.  ¡La lucha sigue! The fight continues!

Catherine Cortez Masto for Senate 8020 South Rainbow Blvd Suite 100-112 Las Vegas, NV 89139 United States   Friend, in almost 250 years, there’s never been a Native woman serving in the US Senate. It’s time to change that.  I’m Peggy Flanagan, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Minnesota.  I am Ojibwe and a proud member of the White Earth Nation. My family is the Wolf Clan. The mission of my clan is to never leave anyone behind — and that’s been my guiding principle. I am the descendant of people who were forced off their land onto the White Earth reservation. I am the relative of residential boarding school survivors. I am the daughter of a man who always spoke truth to power for the good of the Anishinaabe people. I’m thinking of my daughter — who just got her first jingle dress — and whether or not she will see Indigenous women in all parts of our government.  Right now, there are no Native voices in the US Senate. If I win this race, we can change that.  It's high time that all our communities have a seat at the table. If you agree, will you pitch in $10 or whatever you can to power my campaign and Catherine’s and help me make history? DONATE Too often, Native voices are ignored or erased in the halls of power. That’s how we get awful so-called leaders like Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, who called Indigenous Peoples' Day a “fake holiday” and said that Native land was “enemy territory.” My Ojibwe name means 'Speaks in a Loud and Clear Voice woman.' So I’m using that voice to call out MAGA extremism — loudly and clearly. But I can’t do it alone. I need your help to build a campaign strong enough to cut through the noise. That’s why I’m personally asking, friend, will you pitch in a split gift to my campaign to help us make history? If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Peggy Flanagan and Catherine Cortez Masto will go through immediately: DONATE $5 DONATE $25 DONATE $50 Donate another amount Chi miigwech (that’s Ojibwe big thank you) for being part of this hopeful movement.
