Aruá is a mollusk that lives in the Amazon River. His life was peaceful until the tidal bore turned everything upside down! The riverbed became a mess, and worse: his shell disappeared. When he finally finds his shell, he discovers that another mollusk, smaller and younger, has taken possession of his refuge and now lives inside it. What now? At the end of the story, the young spectators are invited to enter the stage space to interact with the actresses and props.

Born from the partnership between actresses Thiane Lavrador and Júlia Mariano, 2 Mililitros Cia. Teatral is a company dedicated to ongoing research focused on childhood and youth. Their first work dedicated to early childhood premiered in 2017. In December 2021, they received funding from the Municipal Culture Secretariat's grant program for multi-language projects with "Cadê? O que? Achou! - ações poéticas para a primeira infância" (Where? What? Found it! - poetic actions for early childhood), which was featured in Veja magazine and the Estado de São Paulo newspaper. In 2022, they premiered the play "Os Céus e suas Histórias" (The Skies and Their Stories), their first work dedicated to early childhood, presented on the stage of the Teatro Paulo Autran at SESC Pinheiros. This work toured throughout the state of São Paulo and the city of Rio de Janeiro, and in 2024, they received the Pequenos Formatos award from the Brazilian Institute of Theatre, enabling a sold-out season of 16 performances at Espaço Sobrevento.
