Full details

Synopsis HAPPY NEW LEAR Synopsis: An old aristocrat from other times wanders lost and abandoned at a gas station. A comedian on her way to a New Year's party 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 ancient 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, precariousness, indifference, war, and despair. Artistic Team Text, Patrícia Portela based on the original text King Lear by W. Shakespeare and the translations by Álvaro Cunhal, Millôr Fernandes, and Manuel Gomes da Torre Dramaturgy, Maria do Céu Guerra, Maria Rueff, Martim Pedroso, and Patrícia Portela Direction, Martim Pedroso Performance, Maria Rueff and Maria do Céu Guerra Lighting Design, Vasco Lello Video, Vasco Lello and Rafael Aniceto Music and Sound Design, Carlos Morgado Costumes, João Telmo Scenic Construction, Mário Dias Production, Inês Costa and Maria Baltazar Rehearsal Support, Maria Baltazar and Vasco Lello Poster Photography, Telmo Pereira Graphic Designer, João Mello Lighting Operation, Rafael Aniceto Sound and Video Operation, Hugo Rodrigues Prices Prices - 22€ Discounts - Group +15 | Over 65 years | Under 25 years | Show Professionals - 16€

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.
