Ariano - O Cavaleiro Sertanejo_edited.jpg

The production of the show “Ariano - The Sertanejo Knight” was in celebration of the 22nd anniversary of the company Os Ciclomáticos, and it was only fitting to honor Northeastern popular culture through the iconic figure of Ariano Suassuna. The show premiered on June 15, 2018, at SESC Tijuca – the month of Ariano Suassuna's birthday. The performance is a journey through popular experiences: folk songs, the sertanejo tradition, improvisational poetry (repente), forró, the Armorial movement, mamulengo puppetry, and all the possibilities present in the Northeastern universe. Written and directed by Ribamar Ribeiro, the performance by Os Ciclomáticos Companhia de Teatro pays tribute to the great author Ariano Suassuna.

SYNOPSIS

Six Knights in search of the legendary author Ariano Suassuna invade the northeastern city of Armorial with music and poetry. They tell and sing about the legend of the northeastern knight, the one who was born, loved, lived and fought using the most powerful weapons: pen and ink. The errant knight, of mysteries and myths, left his legacy and perpetuated his stories and was entitled: Ariano – O Cavaleiro Sertanejo.
