➡ May 24 | 4:00 PM
The Ourique School District Theater Group presents Artifício, a play inspired by Isabel Figueiredo’s work “Um lobo à porta.”
A stage transformed into a realm of questions.
Amid silences, confrontations, and unease, Artifício challenges the audience to reflect on beliefs, impositions, and social constructs.
Where does belief end and imposition begin?
What if everything is, inevitably, a political act?
Synopsis:
In the show Artifício, everything is gesture, everything is discourse, everything is politics. Bodies pierced by dogmas seek openings to breathe, question, and exist. An invitation to look at what we consider natural and ordinary… and to dismantle seemingly unquestionable truths.
Credits:
Text: Ana Coimbra and Tânia Sacramento, freely inspired by the work “Um lobo à porta” by Isabel Figueiredo
Cast: Ana Palhinha, Daniel Mateus, Leonor Romeiro, Margarida Pataquinho, Maria Monteiro, and Micael Gonçalves
Production and Direction: Tânia Sacramento
Organization: Ourique School District
With the support of the Municipality of Ourique
Don’t miss this moment of reflection, art, and expression!
