Theatre Program
Companhia Triptal was formed in 1990 with the mission of
creating innovative productions for children. Their first project,
Maria Clara Clareou, staged seven texts of Maria Clara Machado, a
popular writer of plays for young people. For the past decade, the
company has staged more adult productions with a special interest in
the O'Neill's early sea plays—Zona de Guerra (In the Zone),
Longa Viagem de Volta pra Casa (The Long Voyage Home)
and Cardiff (Bound East for Cardiff), collectively
titled Homens ao Mar (Sea Plays). Crafted in a variety of
nontraditional spaces, Triptal's rendering of these works has
brought the company considerable success in their home country:
Zona de Guerra was awarded the prestigious APCA (Criteria
Association) Award for "Best Spectacle" and was nominated for the
Premio Shell de Teatro (Shell Theatre Award) for its striking gritty
production. Cardiff received Shell nominations for its
outstanding direction and musical direction, and received the Premio
Shell for Best Scenic Design.
Triptal performs most of their work in their home
of São Paulo, Brazil. Through the support of Brazil's Public
Programs for Culture Promotion, the company has produced more that
70 works in public spaces on the periphery of São Paulo, as well as
in the festivals of Curitiba, Londrina, São Josédo Rio Preto and
Suzano. Their appearance at the Goodman marks Companhia
Triptal's first time performing outside of Brazil.
