THE PRODUCER
FORTES ARTISTIC PRODUCTIONS
Fortes is a production company which prioritizes projects that are related to cultures and it is focused on bringing the audience to the Theater. Theater is created and produced for all kinds of public by Fortes. The function is to combine social work with artistic work as the goal is the transformation of the human being.
In Fortes' history it can be highlighted two great shows that marked Rio’s cultural scene: Jefferson Schroeder's A Produtora e a Gaivota, with João Fonseca as director, and the musical 'Dancer in the Dark', a show based on Lars Von Trier's movie, directed by Dani Barros. Both shows were critics and public success, having received many awards and made incredible seasons. In addition to theatrical performances, Fortes' projects are focused on moving, sowing, articulating and developing serious accessibility work on and off stage, seeking not only cultural entertainment but also bringing a movement of social inclusion.
