“La ternura” is a comedy that follows three women and three men as they navigate the peculiar realities of love and relationships. The characters question the saying, “In war and in love, everything goes.” Set on a desert island, they find themselves caught in hilarious mix-ups and magical misunderstandings reminiscent of Shakespeare’s works. Ultimately, they come to realize that the concept of “opposite sexes” is simply a myth.

Performed in Spanish with English subtitles.

The Passion According to Janair is a striking reimagining of Clarice Lispector’s novel The Passion According to G.H.. In Lispector’s book, Janair—the Black maid whose quiet departure triggers the protagonist’s existential unraveling—remains a shadow, a muted trace, a removed presence. This new production reclaims that void, placing Janair at the center of the stage as the story’s beating heart.

Portrayed by acclaimed Brazilian actress Ana Carbatti under the direction of Andressa Furletti, Janair steps forward from the edges of the narrative, speaking directly to audiences. Through her, the play not only revisits Lispector’s metaphysical questions but expands them, turning a sidelined presence into testimony and quietude into resonance. In doing so, Group Dot BR draws attention to the unspoken realities of invisible labor, racial hierarchies, and the solitude of those long overlooked.

Created and choreographed by Rafael Ramírez, this piece takes us on a journey through time to revisit the legacy of Antonio Gades (1936–2004), his unique vision of flamenco, and our interpretation of his life and era. Gades is the guiding force of this work—an artist, a symbol, and the thread that weaves it all together. As devoted witnesses, we aim to bring him closer with each performance. He is remembered not only for what he gave to flamenco but also for how his influence continues to shape it today. He is a tembodiesime that once was—"Crónica de un suceso”.
