Starred by miner Raphael Elias, show narrates the trajectory of the artist Alagoas from his compositions and experiences
Djavan – The Musical: Lives to tell Arrives in São Paulo – with practically sold out tickets – to repeat the success of his season in Rio de Janeiro. The show invites the public to embark on a journey where the trajectory of the singer and composer Alagoas mixes with the very history of Brazilian music. Between verses and melodies, the dramaturgy remains light, supported by two pillars: the repertoire that consecrated Djavan and the ancestry that shaped its art and life.
The musical direction, signed by João Viana – Son of himself Djavan – and Fernando Nunestransforms known successes into theatrical experiences, preserving harmonic sophistication and adapting them to the scene. There are intimate moments, who alternate with expansive numbers, in which the public is instigated to participate, applaud and sing along, in a cadence that mirrors the very rhythm of the artist’s work. Visually, the show enchants with a versatile scenario, colorful costumes and light games that dialogue with the singer’s poetry.
The repertoire is the soul of assembly – as one would be expected of a spectacle under the artistic direction of João Fonsecaconsecrated by musicals who have already celebrated Tim Maia, Cazuza and Cassia Eller. Dozens of songs sew the narrative, which advances as a live album: from childhood to love life, from professional achievements to iconic partnerships. In the center of everything is Raphael Eliaswhich gives life to Djavan In different phases, reproducing not only the singer’s voice and style, but also his elegance and introspection. Its interpretation is of such accuracy that, at times, it seems that its own Djavan occupies the stage.
The cast also shines when recreating striking MPB encounters. Gab Lara incarnate Chico Buarquetravel partner to Cuba and Angola in the 80s; Aline Deluna thrill Maria Bethânia in “alibi”; Erika Affonso Print the force of Alione; WALERIE GONDIM rescues the sweetness of Gal Costa (1945–2022) In a “blue” version that gains even more impact with the projection of the tropicalist’s face on the scenario. To break the mood of emotion, Tom Karabachian entertain as a Caetano Veloso caricatus, dividing with Elijah A witty duet of “fate”.
Among other remarkable moments, “Petal” accompanies the farewell of the mother of DjavanDona Virginia, lived with an exciting appeal for MARCELA RODRIGUESwhile “current”, “my good-whore” and “a pure love” outline their sentimental life-from the first wife, Aparecida (ELINE PORTO), to the current companion, Rafaella (WALERIE GONDIM).
The collective and spiritual dimension of your music also gains prominence. The scenic presence of Elegbara (Milton Filho) From the outset reinforces the ancestry that pulsates in his work. If “Luanda” celebrates the ancestors, black pride and spirituality, “if…” crown the narrative arch as a kind of inevitable destiny in the composer’s life and art. In the outcome of the presentation, “Flor-de-Lis” transforms the Sabesp Theater stage, located at Shopping Frei Caneca, a party, inviting the audience to join choir and celebration.
More than a biographical portrait, Djavan – The Musical: Lives to tell It is a sensory and affective experience that reaffirms music as memory and ancestry. With each song, the show shows how Djavanwith his work, experiences and partnerships, continues to transform and touch everyone who stops to hear their compositions.
