Suacompanhia is a São Paulo-based theatre collective founded in 2014, blending original writing, physical precision, and a refined sense of humour to tackle the most urgent, universal questions of our contemporary era.
Led by artistic director Paulo Azevedo, whose distinguished 25-year career spans acclaimed national theatre groups, award-winning productions, and cinematic projects, the collective brings rigorous creative authority to the international stage.
Rooted in cross-disciplinary innovation, Suacompanhia operates as a genre-fluid creative hub, seamlessly navigating theatre, film, visual arts, and podcasts to challenge traditional scenic boundaries and connect genuinely with modern audiences.
SOLO TRILOGY
Three independent, raw, and visually driving companion solos exploring characters caught at a definitive turning point. Formed through years of rigorous investigation, this cross-disciplinary trilogy bridges live performance with music, visual arts, and literature to challenge our modern world.
A comedy drama blending video projections and physical theatre to question fame, isolation, and why we rush through life without ever asking ourselves why.
Why do we admire an artist, and is it worth being a hero?
The Blurb
In the middle of his chaotic life, a rock star stops for an ant at a pedestrian crossing. This micro-moment changes everything. The audience suddenly becomes an intense press conference. Faced with the public, the character is forced to answer questions he never asked himself, genuinely searching for real, raw answers. Inspired by David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and other rock stars of the 60s and 70s, the show explores the deep friction between public myth and private exhaustion.

An immersive and dystopian solo performance exploring the boundaries of art, memory, and political resistance.
What happens when the state abruptly silences art and memory?
The Blurb
Set in a distant future, the guide of the very last museum in a fictional country invites a group of people—the audience—to break into the building. They intend to rescue the artwork, but the collection is already gone. Facing an empty space, the guide is forced to recreate the entire museum using only their raw memories, converting this clandestine tour into a battleground for political resistance. The show reflects deeply on the vital importance of art and spaces of sensitivity as acts of resistance for a country's identity and its very survival. It functions as a sharp, memory-driven dystopian drama where the audience ceases to be passive observers and becomes a true partner of the scene.

A comedy drama and physical theatre to dismantle the rigid 'box of men' and break the cycle of generational trauma.
How would Franz Kafka’s raw, autobiographical letter to his father be rewritten today, more than 100 years later?
The Blurb
An actor is surrounded by numerous boxes of various shapes. Unearthing fragments of a life, the performer rewrites Franz Kafka’s famous 1919 letter to multiple recipients: their own father and the patriarchy itself. Directed by award-winning researcher Silvana Garcia, this physical solo transposes the text into our contemporary reality, with its premiere season 2026/2027. Driven by sociological research from the podcast Almasculina (Male Soul) by project founder Paulo Azevedo, this show officially completes The Solo Trilogy, which began in 2014, exposing how patriarchal dogmas destroy men from within and transforming the audience into a partner of the scene.
