BR-Trans

In BR-Trans, author and actor Silvero Pereira gives voice to several real and fictional narratives of transvestites and transsexuals he met during the research process for his play, in the Ceará-Rio Grande do Sul axis, mixing his personal history with stories collected. By combining all these voices, merging fact and fiction, the author sews a picture of the trans universe in Brazil, shedding light on life stories full of doubts, anguish, and transformations.

He was the winner, by popular vote, of the Aplauso Brasil 2015 award in the categories Actor, Play and Drama, and the award of the best jury of the best Play at the Festival Nordestino de Teatro de Guaramiranga. In 2015, BR-Trans was chosen by the newspapers O Globo and Estadão one of the 10 best pieces of the theater of the year.
