Benedita Casé stars in São Paulo play about losing hearing

Benedita Casé Zerbini stars in “Surda,” a play opening at Sesc Ipiranga in São Paulo.

She plays a woman who gradually loses her hearing, while becoming more aware of the sounds in her own head.

The play is based on writer Julia Spadaccini’s autobiographical text; Spadaccini, like Zerbini, has a hearing disability.

The story shows how hearing loss affects family, work and public life, following the character as her condition changes her daily experience.

The production is directed by Débora Lamm and runs for 60 minutes.

Performances continue through December 13, with shows scheduled from Thursday to Sunday, except on December 5 and 6.
