In a world unravelling under the weight of macho strongmen and repressive systems, Tom na Fazenda is a raw, gripping confrontation with the violence of patriarchy and the crisis of masculinity.
A grieving lover arrives at a rural funeral only to find silence, denial and a brutal demand to lie. In the mud and blood of the farm – a symbol of family, Church and land – truth becomes dangerous.
This is theatre as reckoning. Seductive, volatile, fiercely political, a howl from the margins in a world desperate to silence them.
Unforgettable.
