Full details

Synopsis HAPPY NEW LEAR Synopsis: An old aristocrat of bygone days wanders lost and abandoned at a petrol station. A comedian on her way to a New Year's show runs out of car on a national road. Fate seems to want to bring these two characters together on a tragicomic journey that combines an old story of family succession with a practical problem of the contemporary world. Maria do Céu Guerra and Maria Rueff finally meet on stage for a new 'and happy' version of William Shakespeare's King Lear, where the relationship between the Fool and the King allows us to dive into the great problems of our time: abandonment, old age, precarity, indifference, war and despair.

Sinopse HAPPY NEW LEAR Sinopse: Um velho aristocrata de outros tempos vagueia perdido e abandonado numa bomba de gasolina. Uma comediante a caminho de uma animação de fim de ano, fica sem carro numa estrada nacional. O destino parece querer juntar estas duas personagens numa viagem tragicómica que combina uma história antiga de sucessão familiar com um problema prático do mundo contemporâneo. Maria do Céu Guerra e Maria Rueff encontram-se finalmente em palco para uma nova “e feliz” versão do Rei Lear de William Shakespeare onde a relação entre o Bobo e o Rei nos permite mergulhar nos grandes problemas do nosso tempo: o abandono, a velhice, a precariedade, a indiferença, a guerra e o desespero.
