Description
Part stand-up, part gig, with a sparkling performance by Inês Sampaio, The Trial is an interactive new play that questions gender constructions in the 21st century. Can we reject authority, and live and love in a different way? This interactive hyper theatrical performance is loosely inspired on Tieta do Agreste, a novel by Jorge Amado. Donning musical instruments, a microphone and a loop pedal, Inês Sampaio invites the audience to join her on a journey of questioning, growth and discovery. Be unprejudiced witnesses and play jury to her story.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

I don't care if her majesty Queen Elizabeth II is playing the Marracas on the Royal Mile, do EVERYTHING you can to see this show! As well as being one of the most entertaining pieces in Greenside (Infirmary Street) this performer not only tackles society's most important issues to date, but immerses you to think and respond for yourself, with a fun and innovative mode of audience interaction. The sheer talent to multi-role and multi-task (rocking the hell out of a loop pedal) will leave you surprised, spellbound and believing you are actually in rural Brazil, despite the limitations of the space.
This bird of paradise sings a song that often goes unsung, but one that the entire world deserves to hear, my only regret is that I can't give more than five stars.

A highly interactive and entertaining show about the treatment of trans-sexual people. Tieta is a despised son, driven from his village by a homophobic father and the community of Agreste. Years later, she returns - a wealthy woman. Tieta wants justice - but what shape could that take? You - the audience - are the jury.
Solo performer Ines is a skilled storyteller, musician and stunning to watch. Definitely onto see!

An immersive show which kept the audience entertained throughout. It was marvelously performed by a hugely talented actor who had numerous skills. Well worth seeing.
