In Bartana’s work, two ensembles from different diasporas come together in São Paulo—communities shaped by experiences of displacement that continue to carry their cultural traditions far from their place of origin: Coral Tradição, a Jewish-Brazilian choir, and Ilú Obá De Min, an Afro-Brazilian street music ensemble. Its members are descendants of Maroons—people who escaped enslavement. Their voices, rhythms, and movements intertwine to form a living community: quiet and meditative, loud and powerful. The Yiddish title Mir Zaynen Do! (We Are Here!) refers to a song of Jewish resistance during the Second World War. The performance is conducted by 97-year-old choir director Hugueta Sendacz. In the ruins of the Teatro de Arte Israelita Brasileiro, Bartana focuses on the collective now: on listening, togetherness and shared presence. Mir Zaynen Do! shows this moment of collective presence – community is created through shared action.
