Theatre 12€

Friday 9 October · until 11 Oct

Add to Google Calendar
Centro Cultural de Belém Belém · Lisbon

Inspired by Büchner's Woyzeck, Laissez Faire follows Jorge, a widowed father who, submissively navigating a ruthless hierarchical company, is pushed into an innovative productivity programme — a show by Os Possessos directed by Leonardo Garibaldi.

Full details

Synopsis This show uses strobe lights. Accessibility: Performance with Portuguese Sign Language interpretation on 11 October at 5 pm. "I always wake up earlier than the alarm clock to avoid the traumatic experience of being woken up." Slavoj Žižek (Too Late to Awaken: What Lies Ahead When There Is No Future) LEX is a company that survives in a rigorous hierarchical system, where the strongest — or at least the cleverest — wins, but where everyone is part of the family. They are all employees, but the market is free to do whatever it wants. It is in this company that Jorge, a widowed father, works. Deluded by false hopes of a better future, he submissively accepts all the demands of his superiors. He is pushed into an innovative productivity programme to prove his commitment and his debt to the company. (It will be so worth it!) The effort will be rewarded and hope is the last thing to die. The person dies first and only then hope.

Sinopse Neste espetáculo são utilizadas luzes estroboscópicas ( strobe ). Acessibilidade: Espetáculo com interpretação em Língua Gestual Portuguesa no dia 11 de outubro, as 17h. «Acordo sempre mais cedo do que o despertador para evitar a experiência traumática de ser acordado.» Slavoj Žižek ( Too Late to Awaken: What Lies Ahead When There Is No Future ) LEX é uma empresa que sobrevive num sistema hierárquico rigoroso, onde o mais forte , ou, pelo menos, o mais esperto , ganha, mas onde são todos parte da família. São todos colaboradores, mas o mercado é livre de fazer o que quiser. É nesta empresa que trabalha Jorge, pai viúvo. Iludido com falsas esperanças de um futuro melhor, aceita com subserviência todas as exigências dos seus superiores. É empurrado para um programa inovador de produtividade para provar o seu compromisso e dívida para com a empresa. (Vai tão valer a pena!) O esforço vai ser recompensado e a esperança é a última a morrer. Morre primeiro a pessoa e só depois a esperança.
