Cine-Teatro Garrett, Sala de Ensaios (Rehearsal Room)
This is a show that traces the fictional biography of an actor who, 20 years after starting his career, is simply tired of only knowing success. He rebels against his successful past because he feels isolated in this condition. He rebels because he has always done what he wanted. It is an original text written with the contribution of different authors and presented between theater and cinema as media, on the borderline between truth and lies, appearance and reality. — Nuno Preto
Show with Portuguese Sign Language interpretation.
