Visionary Brazilian director Christiane Jatahy returns to the Festival with a radical sequel to Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People, featuring Golden Globe-winning actor Wagner Moura.

A Trial – after An Enemy of the People

The Lyceum

After the Silence follows the struggles of three Afro-Brazilian women as they fight for their community, their land and their people. Christiane Jatahy’s powerful play is loosely based on Itamar Vieira Junior’s best-selling novel Torto Arado and the 1984 film from Eduardo Coutinho Cabramarcado para morrer. Both of which focus on violence and repression in Brazil.
