Theatre Sketches

COMMUNITY PRODUCTION
Grupo Penela Qual Idade?

4th April / Casa Família Oliveira Guimarães, Espinhal / 9:15 pm

Through theatrical and poetic texts by great authors, we reflect on war and the increasingly urgent need to be together and share time, sensibilities, and tenderness. From the British irony that Stephen and Dona infuse to the comedy of Gil Vicente to the pure and intense feeling of Fernando Reis interpreting his own poetry, passing through a Shylock in the powerful and true voice of Céu or a courageous and generous Ana interpreting the words of Mother Courage, to finally the commitment to the word and to others that Arsi so well establishes with us through the poetry of Mahamoud Darwish, this process sharing leaves no one indifferent, and despite the raw and harsh theme, the joy of the encounter always reigns. Indeed, Art has such things...!


The Penela Qual idade? Group is:

ANA FERRO RIBEIRO (Mother Courage, Bertolt Brecht)

ARSI ORIHUELA (Mahamoud Darwish)

CÉU OLIVEIRA (Shylock, William Shakespeare)

DONA ROCKEY (Brízida Vaz, Gil Vicente)

FERNANDO REIS (Soldier, Fernando Reis)

STEPHEN ROCKEY (Devil and Angel, Gil Vicente)
