Join directors Raphael Alvarez and Tatiana Issa in person for this film about an infamous Brazilian dance/theater group at the heart of the 1960s Tropicália cultural movement. The group used imagination, irony and humor to confront Brazil's violent dictatorship-and in the process revolutionized the nation's gay rights movement and changed the language of theater and dance for a generation. With Norma Bengell, César Camargo Mariano, Pedro Cardoso, and Liza Minnelli.
