They are part of the collectives @transpoetas, @slamdarampa, and they also are part of the editorial board of “toró” @toroeditorial magazine, for which they also do the covers.

With an academic background in Theater Direction from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Ralph Duccini has ample theater experience and, in 2017, they founded the interstate theater group Uivo Coletivo.
