What?

Theater piece written by script writer Beto Amorim and Cris Ferrantini shows a decadent Cabaret trying to shine again once more. The famous painter Tolouse Lautrec goes to that Cabaret and gives life to it, registering the majesty of it´s burlesque spirit within.

The acting will have many interferences 'freezing the scenes' when the audience will be able to draw the main models or the scene.

During the event will be time to enjoy the acting, time for drawing, a time for having a free cachaça shot along with a special meat sausage prepared on cachaça (gift from the Venue), time for fun, time for contests and win great prizes and many surprises will be there waiting for you.

Party !

Yes, we have a grand opening party going on here, after you draw, eat, drink, chat with great people from the art communities, have fun and amuse yourself with our theater piece you are invited to dance all night long by the sound of our DJ and enjoy a spectacular show by the rooftop with cocktails Malabar.

Can I go ? Is that for me?

Well, this will be a Dr. Sketchy´s event to everyone, if you are a professional artist, an art student or simply enjoy art this is for you, if you like theater pieces this event is also for you but notice this will be a piece with many interventions for drawing participants do their sketches and participate on contests and other activities, this is not a regular theater piece nor a regular live model class.
If you wanna join up only for the party... come on and have fun !
