Developed during the scenic investigations of Jefferson Miranda’s Projeto CoIsA (Cia Teatro Autônomo), Tempo Real is a performance centered on the present moment. Its premise is simple yet unsettling: to bring to the stage, in real time, fragments of what is happening in the world while the play unfolds. Using tablets, the performers share constantly updated data—births and deaths, traffic reports, accidents, trivia, astral readings, and more.
Julia Bernat’s dramaturgy frames this flow of information within a reflection on simultaneity and the overlapping rhythms of contemporary life. While driven by digital tools, Tempo Real is not about technology itself, but about presence. It insists on theatre’s enduring capacity to confront the now—and asks what it means to witness something as it happens.
