From March 28th to April 13rd, the play “Solo da Cana” (Solo in Sugarcane), produced by Ana Paula Abreu and Renata Blasi, will run at CCBB Brasília’s Gallery 4.
Starring Izabel de Barros Stewart and directed by João Saldanha, the play seeks to answer the question: What would a sugar cane tell us after centuries of exploitation? by fictionalizing a plant testimony: the perspective of a sugar cane on colonial ties.
These ties set in motion a certain way of inhabiting the Earth and relating to the soil and its people, revealing the environmental racism that permeates these practices. In the play, dancer and performer Izabel de Barros Stewart, who has a remarkable career, launches herself as an actress and playwright. The play features a woman’s body taking the place of a sugar cane, an icon of mono-agro-pop culture, in a dialog with the audience, talking about the cultivation of affection between beings.
In a kind of counter-colonial manifesto, “Solo da Cana” (Solo in Sugarcane) deals with a battle between the expansion of the agricultural frontier and the atrophy of the sensitive horizon, between surplus and hunger, in the struggle for a land that recovers the cosmos. Beyond the frameworks that classify humans and non-humans, the challenge here is to understand the interactions that transform us materially and symbolically in the inevitable interspecies coexistence.
Izabel de Barros Stewart is a stage artist, performer and educator. She began her career in dance in the 1990s, working with João Saldanha, Dudude Herrmann, among others. She has a degree in History from PUC-Rio and a Master’s in Dance (DEA) from the University of Paris 8. She was a lecturer in the Department of Performing Arts at UFOP for 3 years. She has created works in partnership with various dance, theater, performance, music and visual arts artists, as well as working on environmental education and artivism projects, especially when she was coordinator of the NGO Primatas da Montanha (PRIMO), and also on the Ecology Board of the Ouro Verde Educational and Cultural Institute (INOV). In September 2023 she premiered “Solo da Cana” (Solo in Sugarcane), her first work as a playwright and actress, directed by João Saldanha and produced by Ana Paula Abreu and Renata Blasi.

Teatro: “Solo na Cana” no CCBB
A partir de 28 de março a 13 de abril, a peça teatral Solo da Cana, com produção de Ana Paula Abreu e Renata Blasi, cumpre temporada na Galeria 4 do CCBB Brasília.
Estrelado por Izabel de Barros Stewart, sob a direção de João Saldanha, a obra busca resposta ao questionamento: O que nos diria uma cana-de-açúcar, depois de séculos de exploração? ficcionalizando um depoimento vegetal: a perspectiva de uma cana-de-açúcar sobre os vínculos coloniais.
Vínculos esses que deflagram um determinado modo de habitar a Terra e de se relacionar com o solo e suas gentes, revelando o racismo ambiental que permeia essas práticas. Na peça, a bailarina e performer Izabel de Barros Stewart, de trajetória notável, se lança como atriz e dramaturga. A montagem traz à cena um corpo de mulher que assume o lugar de fala de uma cana-de-açúcar, ícone da cultura mono-agro-pop, em diálogo com a plateia, versando sobre o cultivo de afetos entre os seres.
Em uma espécie de manifesto contra-colonial, Solo da Cana trata de uma batalha entre o alargamento da fronteira agrícola e o atrofiamento do horizonte sensível, entre o superávit e a fome, na luta por um terreno que recupere o cosmo. Para além dos enquadramentos que classificam humanos e não humanos, o desafio aqui é perceber as interações que nos transformam materialmente e simbolicamente no inevitável convívio interespécies.
