What would a sugarcane say, after centuries of exploitation?

Solo da Cana brings to the stage a woman’s body that takes on the voice of a sugarcane — an icon of mono-agro-pop culture — in dialogue with the audience, reflecting on the cultivation of affections among beings. It is not about anthropomorphizing a plant, but rather about creating conditions to face the other — the different — as an active subject in relationships, attributing voice and agency to that which has long been considered an inanimate object in our mercantilist culture.

Solo da Cana addresses the struggle between the expansion of agricultural frontiers and the atrophy of the sensitive horizon, between surplus and hunger, in the search for a ground that can restore the cosmos. Beyond frameworks that classify humans and non-humans, the challenge here is to perceive the interactions that transform us, both materially and symbolically, within the inevitable coexistence between species.
