A Brasilia-based improv company founded in 2005, specialising in theatresports formats under their signature show "Missao Improviso," in which audiences supply impossible challenges for performers to fulfil in real time without a script. One of the most recognised comedy companies in the Federal District, having performed in twelve Brazilian state capitals.
History
Cia de Comedia Setebelos was founded in Brasilia in 2005. The company developed "Missao Improviso" as their signature format, a theatresports-rooted show in which audience members supply challenges or scenarios that actors must fulfill spontaneously and without a script. The format positioned the company as an audience-interactive comedy act across the Federal District. Over the following years Setebelos performed in twelve state capitals across Brazil, making it one of the most widely touring improv companies from the Brasilia scene.
Artistic Identity
Setebelos performs audience-driven theatrical improvisation in the theatresports tradition, centred on the challenge structure of "Missao Improviso." The format emphasises audience agency, placing the comedic stakes entirely on performers completing suggestions they cannot anticipate.
