Support the Dionysus Brazilian Theater Festival – Miami

A Nonprofit Cultural Movement Bringing Brazilian Theater to the World

Dear friends and supporters,

I invite you to join me in supporting the Dionysus Brazilian Theater Festival a nonprofit initiative dedicated to bringing the richness, beauty, and transformative power of Brazilian theater to Miami.

In 2024, we launched our first edition of the Festival with Echoes of Madness and a series of public debates on mental health and art. The impact was profound—one audience member shared that the performance inspired her to seek help for her drinking problem. This affirmed our purpose: theater awakens, heals, and transforms.

Now, in 2025, we proudly present the Second Dionysus Brazilian Theater Festival, expanding our reach, community impact, and artistic programming.

Our 2025 Premiere: The Wild & Sacred – A Ritual of Five Elemental Women

This year’s Festival is anchored by our new immersive performance, Wild & Sacred, a site-specific ritual theater piece set inside a historic 1911 house in Downtown Miami.

The audience moves through five rooms—each representing an elemental woman.

Through theater, dance, scent, gesture, and poetry, the work becomes a living journey of healing and transformation.

Wild & Sacred has already received recognition and support from Miami-Dade County’s Community Grant Program, which helps us bring this project to life.

This institutional support is an honor — but it covers only a portion of the Festival’s real costs.

We still need community support to make the full vision possible.

Our Commitment to Community

The Dionysus Festival is more than performances. It is:

A nonprofit platform for Brazilian artists

A bridge connecting Brazil and Miami

A space for women’s voices, immigrant stories, and transformative art

A home for creative discovery

A place where community and culture meet

We also offer affordable theater classes in Miami, especially for adult women seeking expression, confidence, and joy. These classes have become a cherished community space for healing and creativity.
