The film “São Palco - Cidade Afropolitana” will be shown on 10/05 at the Quilombo Urbano Aparelha Luzia. The free event will start at 8:30 pm and feature a debate with the protagonists and directors after the screening.

Synopsis of the film:
What do African artists who arrived in Brazil in recent years carry with them on their journey? How do the African diasporas dialogue—the new creative diaspora and the one that turned the Atlantic into a cemetery? What stages are occupied, built, and filled with the performances of artists who cross the ocean? Ancestry is updated in performances that construct an Afropolitan present in a metropolis where it is necessary to be bold, to color the gray. São Palco – Cidade Afropolitana presents the city of São Paulo as a meta-stage occupied by artists from Togo, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola, among other African nations, in dialogue with the Brazilian population and its openings, contradictions and tensions.
