Galpão is a theater company created 25 years ago, with roots in the popular and street theater, famous for staging performances that privilege the interaction with the public.
With headquarters in Belo Horizonte in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), the company has toured extensively around Brazil and abroad, having taken part in several festivals in seventeen countries in Latin America, North America and Europe.
An actor-based company working with visiting directors, Galpão is always experimenting with various theatrical elements, especially circus and music (instruments are usually played live by the actors themselves), working with adaptations of theater classics to Brazilian culture, crossing over folk and high cultures.
