The Broadwater Black Box

Brazilian artist Bruna Fachetti is set to debut a powerful one-woman adaptation of Clarice Lispector’s acclaimed novella, "The Hour of the Star" in this world premiere. This deeply personal production, directed by Alex Tietre, brings to life the story of Macabéa, a young woman from Brazil’s Northeast , and explores themes of identity, poverty, and belonging. This production will be performed at The Broadwater July 25 to August 1st.&nbsp;
Audiences will witness Fachetti embodying six different characters, merging narration with performance to illuminate an overlooked life on stage. In keeping with the themes of the work, the production
incorporates recycled materials into its costume and scenic design. This creative choice supports sustainability while embodying the soul of the story. Macabéa exists on the margins—overlooked, undervalued, and nearly invisible. By transforming discarded materials into scenography and props, the production visually reflects her condition, demonstrating that what society casts aside can still hold meaning, beauty, and life.&nbsp;WHO:&nbsp;

An Exploration of Japanese, Indian, Latin &amp; Jazz Fusion
Reuniting on stage for the first time in more than two decades — and appearing together in the United States for the first time — acclaimed shakuhachi artist John Kaizan Neptune and Grammy-winning ghatam virtuoso Giridhar Udupa come together for an extraordinary evening of music.
Joined by David Neptune on Takeda percussion, Christophe Ambrosino on guitar, and Spencer Hinkle on bass, the quintet explores original compositions shaped by Japanese melodies, South Indian rhythm, jazz improvisation, Latin influences, and musical traditions from around the world.
Across a rare 90-minute performance, the ensemble creates a sound that is at once intimate, adventurous, and deeply immersive. Each performance unfolds as a living conversation where melody, rhythm, and spontaneity meet in the moment.
More than a concert, Roots &amp; Rhythm celebrates musical friendship, creative exchange, and the power of music to connect people across generations, cultures, and borders.
Your presence helps sustain independent live music and meaningful artistic collaboration. We are deeply grateful to the patrons, supporters, and community members helping bring this experience to life.More information on <a href="https://www.rootsandrhythm.live" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">rootsandrhythm.live</a>
