NYC Premiere of Brazilian theater classic:
Wedding Dress
by Nelson Rodrigues
Directed by Julia Burnier
Sponsored by Porto Rocha

Originally written in 1943, Wedding Dress is widely regarded as the play that revolutionized modern Brazilian theater. The story follows Alaíde, a young bride on her deathbed, as she navigates a dreamlike tapestry of memories, hallucinations, and reality. Through a non-linear structure, the play explores psychological and familial conflicts, exposing deep-seated secrets that challenge the social norms of its time. With a powerful blend of tragedy, comedy, and symbolism, Rodrigues delves into universal themes such as repression, guilt, morality, and madness.
