Tom na Fazenda
Tom à la ferme

 Tom, devastated, travels to the funeral of his lover deep in the countryside. There he meets his lover’s mother, who was completely unaware of her late son’s sexual orientation. His brother, a manly, violent peasant, wants Tom to keep the nature of their relationship to himself. 

In this austere rural atmosphere, Tom is caught in a web of lies and the farm gradually becomes the setting for a dangerous game.

In Brazil, a highly patriarchal country where the holy triad of family, Church and property still reigns supreme, Tom na Fazenda came as a bombshell. The protagonist embodies the outsider who destabilizes the apparent tranquillity of a conservative family and reveals the unspoken violence that prevails there. 

A play that transports us into a network of complex tensions, avoiding neither seduction, nor blood, nor fear. A dizzying immersion in the web of our little social arrangements. A theatre of mud and blood that dirties and glorifies the body.
