The play “Rio 2065,” written by Pedro Brício and directed by Ivan Sugahara, is a biting, dystopian comedy that paints a fictional portrait of Rio de Janeiro in the year of its 500th anniversary.
The plot serves as a critical yet humorous allegory addressing contemporary issues. In the year 2065, the city of Rio de Janeiro takes center stage in the story, presented from a perspective that blends a futuristic and technological vision while remaining tied to its most distant, colonial past.
