EU|TELMA is a solo performance born from the experience of a woman caregiver facing her father's illness and death. On stage, memory, body, and language intertwine to build a narrative that moves between the everyday routines of caregiving, affective memories, and the silences that run through finitude. The work weaves autobiography and fiction to reflect on aging, solitude, family bonds, and time, inviting the audience into a sensitive experience about farewell, presence, and permanence.

By placing care at the center of the stage, the piece reveals the strength of women both in the practice of caregiving and in artistic creation. Though presented in solo format, EU|TELMA affirms itself as an expression of contemporary female creative force in the performing arts.

Created in 2019, EU|TELMA was named one of the best solo shows in the city of São Paulo, supported by ProAC Cultura em Casa (2020) and the Lei Paulo Gustavo of the State of São Paulo (2023), and has toured with more than 50 performances across more than 15 Brazilian cities.
