Diego Bragà in residence with the project "A Gente na boate sofre junto", as part of the partnership with the Alkantara Festival, one of EVC's partner festivals in the context of IN TRANSIT program.

In the heyday of the DISCOTHÈQUE, the hearts of Latino and African-American immigrants, whether they were WHOLE or BROKEN, shared a hopeful 70s GLAMOUR LOOP. All of them died. This is a war. Miss Universe seeks refuge in Copacabana in a bunker that was once a disco during the time of fascism, where she finds gay ghosts.

Drawing from a real archive—her uncle Richard Wagner’s—which blends with fiction, Diego Bragà creates A GENTE NA BOATE SOFRE JUNTO, a “hyperpÓpera” where the bunker becomes a ghostly and utopian disco, reinterpreting homoerotic themes from an androgynous and transfeminist perspective. A theatrical and operatic gesture that embraces suffering and opens the path for a new future.

The premiere will take place at O Espaço do Tempo, as part of the O Espaço do Tempo Creation Grant, with the support of BPI and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation, in November 2025.
