The unprecedented Brazilian production “12th Round: The Story of Emile Griffith”<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, showing at the Sesc Ipiranga<\/strong> theater until July 13, presents the life of the bisexual<\/a> boxer who faced racism and homophobia at the peak of his career in the 1960s. The play is based on the true story of Emile Griffith<\/strong><\/a>, a five-time world champion, who publicly declared his bisexuality and whose journey was marked by tensions both inside and outside the ring.<\/p>\n

Griffith, Black and Afro-Caribbean, also gained notoriety outside the sport following the 1962 fight against Kid Paret, who had publicly insulted him with homophobic slurs. In the televised match, Griffith knocked out Paret, who later died as a result of the blows. The incident left a lasting impression on the public and reignited the debate about violence in sports and sexual intolerance.<\/p>\n

Conceived by actor Fernando Vitor, the play offers a fragmented and intense narrative. The script is by S\u00e9rgio Roveri and the direction by Bruno Louren\u00e7o. The staging is divided into “rounds”, reflecting the structure of a boxing match. The format includes twelve main scenes of three minutes each, interspersed with brief transitions that simulate the breaks between fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cGriffith\u2019s journey is one of the greatest stories in the world of sports, and its obscurity is the result of a long process of erasing our history and identities<\/em>\u201d, says Fernando Vitor. \u201cWe are committed to honoring his legacy, highlighting the fact that Emile became, above all, an activist for the LGBTQ+ cause\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The play also marks the debut of Coletivo Nocaute, a group of Black artists with backgrounds in theatrical productions addressing racial and sexual dissidence themes. \u201cTurning the fight into language, dance, and narrative\u201d<\/em>, according to director Bruno Louren\u00e7o, was the greatest challenge of the production. \u201cGriffith is not just a biographical figure; he is an ancestor. A world champion practically erased from our imagination because of homophobia\u201d<\/em>, he adds.<\/p>\n

The production\u2019s aesthetic approach leans toward documentary theater, incorporating videos, archival footage, and a soundtrack that evokes classic cinema. The structure aims to explore the body as a contested space\u2014between the physical exertion of sport and the symbolic tensions of identity.<\/p>\n
