ISTO É UMA TRAGÉDIA | THIS IS A TRAGEDY
Cão Solteiro & Vasco Araújo
PREMIERE | November | Maria Matos Teatro Municipal, Lisbon
According to some people, human existence and human relations can be described as a failure, in which we fail to acknowledge each other, in which we seem to be insufficient and lonely. In the face of all of this, these people claim, silence seems to be the best way to describe existence.
This is a Tragedy chooses another viewpoint. In this performance, we consider that, given the impossibility of understanding others perfectly, we should give up and talk, that we should talk incessantly, without stopping. Nothing remains.
In this performance, everything there is to see is there to be seen, nothing is hidden or will be revealed at the ending, there are no mysteries or sudden disclosures.
The aim of this show is that of life, to talk our way into disappearing into oblivion.
