COLE COM O VILA, VELHO!

CONHEÇA MAIS DA HISTÓRIA DO VILA

O Teatro Vila Velha foi fundado em 1964, durante o regime militar. O Vila atuou e atua como espaço de reflexão e defesa da liberdade. É também um importante centro de formação artística. O Teatro Vila Velha contribuiu para a formação de artistas reconhecidos nacional e internacionalmente, a exemplo Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia e Tom Zé - que fizeram o primeiro show de suas carreiras neste palco, no antológico "Nós, Por Exemplo", que fez, mais tarde, surgir a Tropicália. 

No Vila surgiu a companhia Viladança, que hoje funciona como um núcleo de produção que realiza espetáculos, residências artísticas internacionais e projetos de formação para crianças e jovens. O Vila também é berço do VIVADANÇA Festival Internacional, maior festival de dança do Norte e Nordeste, que em 2016 completa 10 anos. Aqui também se instalou o Bando de Teatro Olodum, que reside no Vila até hoje e é responsável por grandes sucessos do teatro, como "Cabaré da RRRRRaça", "Áfricas", "Ó Paí, Ó!", este último com versões no cinema e televisão. Desde 2013, o Vila mantém um programa de formação, a universidade LIVRE do teatro vila velha, que tem sido um importante espaço de pesquisa, reflexão e produção, e através do qual o Teatro Vila Velha produziu, de forma independente, 17 espetáculos.

Assim como os tropicalistas, daqui também saíram talentos contemporâneos como Lázaro Ramos, Érico Brás, Virgínia Rodrigues. O Vila também também marcou a vida e a carreira de artistas como Wagner Moura, Vladimir Brichta, João Miguel e Margareth Menezes, pessoas com quem mantém uma relação afetiva e que emprestam suas vozes a esta campanha.

Vila is alive and fighting! The first independent theatre in Bahia, Teatro Vila Velha (TVV) is a celebrated space for creation, training, and the defense of human rights.  To say that it has been easy to keep the doors of this theatre open would be a lie.  Since its founding in 1964 and, later, during its revitalization in 1998, Vila managed to exist, then and now, thanks to a great deal of struggle and to the collective strength of artists, partners, collaborators, and, principally, the public.

Last year, as a reflection of the crisis that embroils the country, Teatro Vila Velha suffered a significant drop in sponsor contributions and this situation seriously threatens the work and operation of the theatre.  At this time, Vila needs a little help from its friends in order to move forward and to find new strategies of maintaining itself.  At present, Teatro Vila Velha receives grant monies from the state of Bahia, after having secured a grant from the “Support for Ongoing Activities of Cultural Entities” governmental project; however, this award covers only 50% of the monthly expenses of the theatre.

In this context, we call upon you to join with us so that Teatro Vila Velha can remain open for the city and for the world and so that  more artists and more stories can emerge.

The funds collected from this campaign, which has as its Phase I goal R$150,000 (Brazilian Reals), will be used to defray administrative costs and to make tax payments accumulated by the theatre, essential commitments so that the Theatre can continue at full operation.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF TEATRO VILA VELHA

Teatro Vila Velha was founded in 1964, during the military regime.  TVV acted and continues to act as a space of contemplation and defense of freedom.  It is also an important center of artistic training.  Teatro Vila Velha has contributed to the training of nationally and internationally known artistis such as Caetano Veloso, Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia, and Tom Zé – who gave their first performances of their careers on this stage, in the piece "Nós, Por Exemplo" which would then give rise to the Tropicália movement.

TVV gave birth to the dance company Viladança, a creative nucleus whose activities range from performance to hosting international artistic residencies, and training projects for children and teenagers.  TVV is also the home of the international festival VIVADANÇA, the largest dance festival in Northern and Northeastern Brazil which, in 2016, celebrated its tenth anniversary.  O Bando de Teatro Olodum is also a resident of TVV and is responsible for huge theatrical hit performances, including “Cabaré da RRRRRaça,” “Africas,” and “Ó Pai Ó” which was later translated to the big and small screens.  Since 2013, TVV has run a universidade LIVRE do teatro vila velha, a training program which has been an important space of research, reflection, and performance, and through which TVV has staged, independently, 17 productions.

Similar to the Tropicalia generation before them, many talented contemporary artists have gotten their start at Teatro Vila Velha, including Lázaro Ramos, Érico Brás, Virgínia Rodrigues.  TVV has also impacted the lives and the careers of other renowned artists, including, Wagner Moura, Vladimir Brichta, João Miguel, and Margareth Menezes, who all share a warm relationship with the theatre and who lend their voices to this campaign.

À vrai dire, il n’a jamais été facile de maintenir ouvertes les portes de ce théâtre. Dès sa fondation en 1964 et plus tard en 1998 lors de sa revitalisation, le Vila Velha a réussi à vivre et à survivre grace à la lutte et à l’effort collectif des artistes, des partenaires , des collaborateurs et surtout du public. L’année passée, dû à la crise que le Brésil traverse, le théâtre Vila Velha a vu le soutien de ses sponsors réduit de façon drastique ce qui a provoqué un impact négatif sur la production et le fonctionnement du théâtre.En ce moment, le Vila Velha doit reprendre son souffle pour suivre son chemin et trouver de nouveaux mécanismes de maintien. Actuellement, le théâtre Vila Velha reçoit des subventions du gouvernement de l’état de Bahia qui couvrent 50% des dépenses mensuelles du thèâtre. C’est dans ce contexte que nous vous invitons à contribuer pour que le théâtre Vila Velha reste ouvert à la ville et au monde et qu’y surgissent de nouveaux artistes et de nouvelles histoires.
