“Bom Retiro 958 metros,” a performance by Brazil’s theatre company, Teatro da Vertigem, leads us on a walk through São Paulo’s phantasmagoric world of things -things in a state of consumer glory, in use, in disuse, and in various stages of disintegration. This experiential piece challenges many of our assumptions about the desire to accumulate, transform, archive, and collect ‘things’ as we move through the underside of an immigrant neighborhood. What circulates? What remains, and what we assume disappears from culture?
