The name Maracujá Laboratório de Artes was chosen by the group because it sums up its artistic proposal: the "passion fruit" represents the passion of the group in researching new possibilities with each work, always mixing diverse languages ​​to create spectacles as singular as its beautiful and singular flower.
These references were observed in a passion fruit's tree that existed in the headquarters of the company at the time of its foundation, and ended up serving as inspiration for the beginning of the work of the group. The words "Laboratório de Artes" (that means "Laboratory of Arts" in English) reinforce the will of its members to be in constant research, experimenting with artistic languages ​​that dialogue with contemporary theater.
