Tabata Contri was characterized by talent, versatility and representation of the PCD on television. The actress, who will be present in Sao Paulo until November 21st with the show Fractalhe was the first wheelchair-bound artist in a Brazilian soap opera. In an interview with Contigo! underlines the transformative capacity of theatre: “Place to question yourself“, he reveals.

Change through art

In addition to being an actress, Tabata works as a consultant on diversity, equity and inclusion in companies, themes that she intimately permeates through her artistic work and brings to the corporate environment in her training, which reveals how art is intrinsically connected who he is with.

“Theater can be a powerful tool for transformation! It’s a break from the chaos of life“, underlines the artist, who also underlines the role of theater in promoting social changes. “It is also a place to question. So that we can dream, bring up issues that bother us, because society only changes if it bothers us, on stage we provoke and are provoked to think about different issues that cross us as human beings and as women“, we read.

In Fractal, the artist is part of an all-female cast and crew that aims to foster reconnection with the feminine — which she says is more than possible: “I really believe in art as a tool that generates change“, he declares.

An innovative piece

In addition to having an all-female cast and crew, Fractal offers audiences – and the cast – a new show setup with each interactive screening. “We are all ready if the drawn scenes will be ours. There are several possibilities, so every session is a surprise for us“, explains.

With such a diverse cast, Tabata used teamwork to approach new realities and experiences: “You really have to prepare yourself to live and work with people with different social indicators, the realities are very different, the needs too, but this was the proposal that interested me the most and we really connect through each other’s stories.“.

Another point that connected the interpreter with his own feminine was the construction of his character on the basis of the archetypes of the Goddesses, a method proposed by the playwright Luciana Bollinaby the casting preparer Carina Gregorio and the director Lenita Ponce.

“We have done many types of exercises to connect with each of these archetypes. And every pair of actresses shares the same archetype with each other. It was a very beautiful process. My inner Goddess is Athena. Even if the public doesn’t know it, it helped us a lot in this construction“, he reveals.

The artist concludes by reinforcing the importance of the complicity promoted by the work: “We must be very united and attentive towards each other because our society promotes competition between women a lot and that is why we must be united – and we are! This is the only way we transmit this energy to the audience.“, he celebrates.
