UMA FAVELEIRA RESISTENTE (A HARDY PLANT)
Community Arts Network
"Uma Faveleira Resistente" is a new story from Bill Grow about a community performance project by the Peoples’ Central Institute, a Methodist center for social action located on the Providence Hill favela (slum) in Rio de Janeiro. A collaboration among "Swamp Gravy" creator Richard Owen Geer, Brazilian artists and children, teenagers, adults and elders from Providence Hill, the piece explores life in Rio's oldest favela. Vignettes created by the cast portray their own stories of violence and resolution, desperation and leadership. The project got support from local businessmen and a bishop, and performances are scheduled throughout Rio at businesses and churches. PCI has been a player in Brazilian life for the last century, in youth work, education, training, employment and public health.
