Cheese and Guava or Romeo and Juliet
Drawing from the classic Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare and romantic-themed songs by the 'king' Roberto Carlos, in a back-and-forth between the plagiarised love story and the unauthorised music, the show is critical, acerbic, tragicomic... it is almost ridiculous! In its title, the company, originally from São José do Rio Preto in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, alludes to how the combination of these two ingredients is curiously known in Brazil, uniting traditional British literature with the cuisine from its homeland, with some sweetness and a touch of saltiness.

Fun and energetic, with some great characters and really impressive skills, with many performers shifting between both different roles and different instruments.
