Feijão

Rooted in ancestral subsistence farming rituals, Feijão traces the stories of growing, harvesting and sustaining life, alongside experience of climate grief, knowledge of the land, and the deep connections between food and memory. Created in long-distance collaboration with family in Brasil, this physical theatre work unfolds through shifting landscapes, movement, storytelling, and Brazilian music.
