About Cênica
Dribble is a theatre show by Cênica, performed at the Buttercup venue as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Set in a Brazilian bar, a table becomes a stage, a pitch and a gathering place. The show blends live music, physical theatre and autobiographical storytelling, moving between festivity and confrontation, humour and emotion. Inspired by the gesture of the dribble — the moment of risk and invention — it explores football as memory, ritual and collective experience, connecting Brazil and Scotland through Charles Miller. The show is part of São Paulo Showcase and runs for 60 minutes.
Why see this show?
A Brazilian bar, Charles Miller, football as collective memory and a live music blend — Dribble connects São Paulo and Scotland through the game's simplest gesture. Warm, physical and genuinely cross-cultural theatre.
