2016 – Conto Natalino e Canto Sul-Americano: In the first part, Conto Natalino, Moinho in Concert presents fragments of a traditional tale by Hoffmann set to music by Tchaikovsky, called “The Nutcracker”. In the second part, it pays tribute to three of the leading figures of Mato Grosso do Sul and Latin American music, Márcio de Camillo, Jerry Espíndola, and Rodrigo Teixeira, who make up the trio Hermanos Irmãos.

2017 – Nossa Gênese : The theme speaks of the division of the State, giving rise to the creation of Mato Grosso do Sul 40 years ago, structured in five acts that also involve the poetry of Manoel de Barros, the influence of various countries on the identity of Mato Grosso do Sul, and, rounding off the whole plot, the Paraguay River: a unifying element with its strength, belief, and regional culture.

2018 – Memória de um Imigrante – Martino Santaluce: The show portrays on stage the life of this immigrant who brought in his baggage only the trade of a builder and the dream of making a fortune far from Italy, devastated by war. The events that marked his short life weave a trajectory that shaped the development of the city of Corumbá/MS, which welcomed him and gave him the conditions necessary to grow, as it still does for so many other migrants and immigrants.

2019 – Um País Inexistente… Los Xarayes: the play tells the story of the paradisiacal world of the Laguna de Los Xarayes, a geographic region of extreme biodiversity that, in the mid-18th century, came to be called Pantanal by the Portuguese colonizers.

2020 – O Saber Pantaneiro: Weaving through the story of Agripino Soares’s 101 years, the show addresses the sorrows and joys of the Pantanal people.

2021 – O Outro Quebra Nozes: the show portrayed a girl who was born in the Pantanal. Clara, a very restless girl, curious about everything around her: the river, the plain, nature, the small little animals, the moon, the stars of the universe, life. Her surroundings were pure, her love for it was authentic, natural, spiritual. She grew up feeding on everything that reached her eyes.

2022 – Guadakan – Conceived from a Guató myth, the show combines contemporary dance and orchestra. It leads everyone to a reflection: “in the fires of 2020, more than 17 million vertebrate animals were killed by the action of fire in the Pantanal. What image can we see in the reflection of its waters?”

2023 – A Menina Passarinha – The show, which brings together music and dance, is a tribute to singer Tetê Espíndola and was inspired by the book of the same name, written by Diane Valdez.
