Agreste (Drylands)

Created by Dende Collective

Journey to the dusty drylands of the North East Brazilian outback, far away from the exotic beaches of Copacabana. In a world of poverty and ignorance, two people fall wildly in love…

Dende Collective, previously at the Lyric with the surreal and sensual Dona Flor and her Two Husbands and The Piranha Lounge, return with the European premiere of this award-winning play by one of Brazil’s most talented playwrights. Blending physical performance, poetry and live music, Dende create an intimate tale of mystery, prejudice and enduring love.
