KILLER JOE

06/16/2025

THEATER: KILLER JOE by Trazy Letts Brown Bear

Crude and violent, but also comic and luminous, Killer Joe is a portrait of the contemporary situation we live in before the indifference towards the Other, a metaphor for the consequence of social networks that were already guessed in the 90s and for an increasingly self-centered, narcissistic and nihilistic society.

Sessions with Audiodescription and Interpretation in Portuguese Sign Language: 20 June, Friday at 7.30 p.m. and 22 June, Sunday at 4 p.m.
