What if love didn’t begin with the first “good morning,” but the one after? That playful question fuels A Manhã Seguinte, the hit comedy by acclaimed British playwright Peter Quilter, now making its Brazilian debut in São Paulo. After a chance encounter, two strangers wake up together facing awkward silences, unanswered questions and emotions they didn’t plan on feeling. The situation spirals delightfully out of control with the arrival of an outspoken mother and a scene-stealing brother, turning an ordinary morning into a cascade of revelations and laughs.

Set in Salvador in the early 1970s, Domingo no Parque expands Gilberto Gil’s iconic song into a vivid stage narrative where friendship, love and political tension collide. Every afternoon, João, Jozé and their friends gather in the Ribeira neighborhood to play capoeira — a space of joy, ritual and community. The balance is disrupted when Jozé brings João to see a performance by his beloved Juliana, who soon begins attending the capoeira circle herself. Old passions resurface: Juliana once lived an intense romance with João, cut short when he impregnated another woman, Juci. Now pursuing her dream as a singer and active in resistance movements against Brazil’s military dictatorship, Juliana becomes both the emotional and political catalyst of the story, drawing the characters toward an inevitable confrontation.
