In 2013, a Brazilian stage adaptation of "The Edukators" was directed by João Fonseca and scripted by Rafael Gomes. The idea came from Pablo Sanábio, who stars in the play as Peter. The remaining cast was composed by Fabrício Belsoff (Jan), Nathália Lage (Jule) and Edmílson Barros (Hardenberg). To promote the play, furniture-like sculptures by juvenile interns in Rio de Janeiro were placed in affluent neighborhoods such as Flamengo, Gávea, Ipanema, Lagoa and Leblon. Film director Weingartner approved the stage adaptation and besides watching it in Rio de Janeiro, he made a five-minute montage for the play featuring "The Edukator" film scenes and newspaper headlines about the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street. After being staged in Rio de Janeiro, performances were also held in São Paulo, Porto Alegre, Salvador, Brasília, and Belo Horizonte.
