RIO –
Canceled by the Secretary of Culture of the State of Rio de Janeiro
, the performance that will close Sunday the exhibition "Literature Exposed" at Casa França-Brasil, in the center of Rio, will take place on Monday (14/1) at 18h on the sidewalk in front of the cultural center, during the dismantling of the show. In a notice posted on a social network, the group És Uma Maluca calls other artists to reinforce the event: "Do not close it.This work is only the beginning of a process that will include many developments and actions, "says the statement, reproduced below.
The presentation criticizes the torture during the military dictatorship in Brazil, with two naked women interacting with the work "The voice of the drain is the voice of God"
, an installation consisting of 6,000 plastic badroaches surrounding a sewer plate. Due to the performance, the show was closed one day before the deadline.
The cancellation of the performance constitutes the second ban on the work of És Una Maluca at the "Exposed Literature" exhibition. In December, before the current government took office, Jesus Chediak, director of the Franco-Brazilian House, and Leandro Monteiro, then secretary of state for culture, decided to ban the audio broadcast of the Work in question, which version has used the voice of President Jair Bolsonaro. Artists replaced the political discourse with a recipe for cakes, a resource often used by newspapers censored during the military dictatorship.
On the one hand, "breach of contract"; to the other, the "censorship"
In a note addressed to the press, the Secretary of Culture and Creative Economy, Ruan Lira, pointed out that the cancellation had been made for breach of contract. According to him, the veto to the action occurred because the programming of this Sunday would not be included in the signed contract.
"The decision was taken because of the non-respect of the contract signed by the parties on July 3, 2018 and providing for unilateral cancellation in case of non-compliance with the established obligations. authorized by Iphan, with a request made 45 days in advance, which did not happen, thus preventing the completion of the planned program this Sunday, "he wrote in a note.
In a message posted on his account on Instagram, the curator of the exhibition, Álvaro Figueiredo, said that the management of Casa França-Brasil had already been informed of the performance of the Sunday show . And he completed:
"Censorship at Exposure Literature Exposed!" They closed our exhibition a day before the official date to prevent the representations of finishing from occurring. </ P> <p> advance the contents of the representations to the direction of the Chamber, was authorized Art will survive the ignorant, "wrote the curator, sharing the email received Saturday night to announce the cancellation of the exhibition. The message shared by Figueiredo further indicates that the cancellation of the exhibition was a commission from Rio Governor Wilson Witzel.
Pronounces Wilson Witzel
Governor Wilson Witzel pronounced on the case on his Twitter account. The official repeated Ruan Lira's speech and said that the right of veto on performance was badociated with a "breach of contract", as the state government was not informed of the content of the complaint. .
"The Franco-Brazilian house is administered by the state.The contract was violated and the decision of the secretary of culture was quickly respected.We must know in advance the content to be displayed in a place authorized by the government, contract, "wrote Wilson Witzel.
The France-Brazil House is administered by the state. There was a breach of contract and the decision of the Secretary of Culture was quickly taken. We must know in advance the contents to be displayed in a place accepted by the government, as provided in the contract. said conservative
For Figueiredo, it does not make sense for the Secretary of Culture to require a detail of what would be presented at the show at the time of signing the contract, because the artists developed the works after their hiring.
So much so that when they asked me for the project, they never explained to me the content of what the artists were going to do, because we did not know yet what it was. they were going to prepare. The only obligation they had was to hand over the work – said the Conservative, noting that he had still sent to the Franco-Brazilian House this week information about the closure.
He considers "moving" the day before the performance.
– What can we understand? It's absurd. How did this happen to the governor and why is he worried about an exhibition at the France-Brazil House? For me it's a censorship, I can not understand the opposite. If this has been communicated before, why did you change your mind now? You gave it to a lawyer and he said you could not? If you prove it to me, agree, but it is very strange.
The GLOBO is still in touch with the collective You're Mad. According to the group – which prefers to express itself only collectively – the representation of this Sunday was initially planned at the opening of the exhibition Exemplary Literature. However, to meet a request of the France-Brazil House, was postponed to closure.
