It's a well-known fact that all the theatres have ghosts. The Teatro São Luiz is no exception and has its two own specters, Irma and Emma Gramatica. These two Italian sisters were actresses, and debuted at Teatro São Luiz in 1927, and after that they haunted the place for years.
In this show, which is also a Spiritism session, we will invoke them, tell their story through their belongings and, hopefully, give them some rest at last.
