Untitled

In 2011, in São Paulo, Brazil, Katiana Gonçales Rangel and Rodrigo Pavon founded the theater and performance research group Untitled.

The group does independent collaborative work based on language research and experimentation. Untitled casting is not bound by characteristics established by the gender binary system or physical determinations for specific characters in theater. Their research dives into expansion of what we understand as gesture, voice and scene as a search for what limits us, an attempt to directly touch perception through an experience rather than through cognitive analysis.

They are interested in themes such as gender and queer expression, racial disparities, war destruction and its effects on generations of people across the globe, artistic freedom and anything else that touches their hearts.

They have translated works by Samuel Beckett, Sarah Kane and Richard Maxwell.

Untitled works: 4.48 Psychosis (São Paulo) and Blasted (New York and Chatham, NY) by Sarah Kane, What Where by Samuel Beckett, Suspended by Katiana Gonçales Rangel and João Paulo Nascimento (São Paulo, New York, Pittsburgh and Seattle) and Iraci or What’s Underneath My Skin (New York) by Katiana Gonçales Rangel.
