Playwright José Celso Martinez Corrêa
A Vai-Vai will take to Anhembi in 2025 a tribute to the iconic playwright José Celso Martinez Corrêa. With the plot The Devoured Shaman and The Bacchante Swallowing of Who Dared to Dream Disorder
, the school will pay tribute to the creator of Teatro Oficina, a symbol of resistance and innovation, located in Bixiga, as well as the former headquarters of the association.
The parade will be developed by carnival designer Sidnei França and promises an explosion of colors, art and irreverence, reflecting the transgressive spirit of Zé Celso. Vai-Vai will delve into the universe of theater, ritual and counterculture, extolling the trajectory of the director who revolutionized the performing arts in Brazil with his anthropophagic aesthetic and his search for creative freedom.
With 15 titles in its history, the black and white band from Bixiga is betting on a bold and vibrant plot to regain the top spot in São Paulo's Carnival, transforming the Avenue into a great stage for celebration and cultural resistance.
Excerpt from the Samba-Enredo:
Pois Zé, Revolução deu Oficina
Ôh Zé, Sua desordem teatral
É Zé, inspiração da Bela Vista
Zé referência... É xamã, é carnaval!...
