A happy and direct play about sadness
Next Performances:
To be announced
A play, for two actors and a fridge, about one of the best-kept secrets of the 21st century: depression. Everyone has been (or knows someone who has) inside that fridge.
A man and a woman in love welcome us into their home, where various opposites coexist: the Afro and the Nordic, joy and sadness, the body and the machine.
Inspired by the book “A Rainha do Norte” by Joana Estrela and the play “Every Brilliant Thing” by Duncan Macmillan, we try to talk about sadness, isolation and maladaptation, in a play that recognizes that being happy, always and forever, is very difficult.
Prioritizing humour and curiosity, we point out a way in which sadness can be shared, investigated, and in which, in the process, we can become stronger and get to know ourselves better. After all, when have you felt foreign or “outside” recently?
Through surprise and the theatrical act, in other words, the writing of the body and voice in space, we try to talk about life as a process of transformation and permanent fine-tuning. And healing, too.
