Louise Helène transforms breakfast table into painting performance at Teatroiquè
On September 13 at 10 AM, Louise Helène will showcase 'CAFÉ DO AMANHÃ' on the open deck of Teatroiquè in Butantã, São Paulo. This performance reimagines a breakfast table as an artistic studio, utilizing common items as paint containers. Helène will create spontaneously, guided by the concept of starting from 'the void,' while live piano music by Ladislau Cardos accompanies her. This idea was inspired by a challenge from director Alexandre Menezes to engage the audience in the creative journey. A special guest will join the first performance, enhancing the unscripted experience. Attendees can enjoy breakfast from Teatroiquè during the show. Tickets are priced between R$ 30 and R$ 60, available on By Inti's website, with the performance lasting around an hour.
