An internationally acclaimed work that confronts the violence of patriarchy and the cartel of silence head-on.
Chosen by audiences in over 100 cities worldwide.
Winner of the Shell Theatre Award, APTR, and APCA.
Tom at the Farm has built a strong international reputation through numerous major awards and extensive touring. Beginning with over 100 cities across Brazil, its tour has extended to Canada, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and the United Kingdom—demonstrating its ability to resonate with audiences beyond cultural boundaries.
The work explores how violence is sustained through silence. After the death of his lover, the protagonist visits a rural farm for the funeral, only to find that no one is willing to speak the truth. Silence operates there as an unspoken rule.
Following the protagonist’s choice—whether to remain silent or confront the truth—Tom at the Farm reveals the structures of oppression and power. Praised by the original playwright, Michel Marc Bouchard, as “the most powerful production of my work,” this piece stands as a modern classic that transcends homophobia.

Its debut production, In the Solitude of Cotton Fields by Bernard-Marie Koltès, was widely acclaimed by both audiences and critics. The work received the APTR Award for Best Set Design and was officially invited to major Brazilian theatre festivals, gaining international recognition.
The second project, Whatever You Say, I Believe, adapted from short stories by Caio Fernando Abreu, earned the Scenic Production Award from the Rio de Janeiro State Department of Culture, further establishing the company’s creative strength.
Its landmark production, Tom at the Farm, received multiple awards and has become a defining work of the company’s repertoire.
Through bold textual interpretation, refined direction, and performances centered on the actor’s presence, Quadrovivo has established a distinctive position within the Brazilian theatre scene.
