About Ivo Müller and Blau Produções
One Million Words is an English-language solo show from Brazil, performed by Ivo Müller and produced by Blau Produções. Inspired by the writings of Rainer Maria Rilke, the show connects letters, love, and longing across time. Struggling with writer's block, Rilke expresses himself only through letters for a year. A century later, those letters help Ivo Müller navigate his own challenges in a world where even his name feels foreign. Part of the São Paulo Showcase, the production celebrates the writer's centenary and runs for 60 minutes at Jack Dome.
Why see this show?
A quietly affecting solo show that crosses a century with letters as its bridge. The São Paulo Showcase brings a distinctive Brazilian perspective to Rilke, and the intimacy of Jack Dome suits it perfectly.
