Being Different Is Normal

Ser Diferente é Normal

Theatre M/3 Family friendly

Saturday 10 October · until 31 Oct

Teatro Tivoli BBVA Santo António · Lisbon

This children's play, written by Rui Malvarez and directed by Luís Lourenço, brings to the stage animals that don't match the 'norm' of their species — from a short-necked giraffe to a lion without a mane — in an unexpected discovery about identity and accepting difference.

Full details

This children's show, which invites us to see difference as something that makes us unique, brings to the stage a short-necked giraffe, a winged mole, an elephant without a trunk, a pelican without legs, a thin hippopotamus, a toothless crocodile, a long-haired bear and a lion without a mane. Unable to match what would be "normal" for their species, these animals feel out of place, useless and alone. A storm drives them to take shelter in a cave, where they share their fears, frustrations and the desire to be like the others. It is then that they discover they are part of a story and decide to look for their creator, hoping to be "corrected". What begins as an attempt to erase what makes them different, however, turns into an unexpected discovery about identity, acceptance and the value of each one. With an accessible and fun approach, Being Different Is Normal, written by Rui Malvarez and directed by Luís Lourenço, proposes a reflection on the importance of accepting difference and understanding that there is not just one right way to be. Production details: Plano 6. Rui Malvarez, author; Luís Lourenço, direction.

Show original (Portuguese)

Este espetáculo para crianças que convida a olhar para a diferença como algo que nos torna únicos, leva a palco uma girafa de pescoço curto, uma toupeira com asas, um elefante sem tromba, um pelicano sem patas, um hipopótamo magro, um crocodilo sem dentes, um urso de pelo comprido e um leão sem juba. Incapazes de corresponder ao que seria “normal” para a sua espécie, estes animais sentem-se deslocados, inúteis e sozinhos. Uma tempestade leva-os a refugiar-se numa gruta, onde partilham medos, frustrações e o desejo de serem como os outros. É então que descobrem que fazem parte de uma história e decidem procurar o seu criador, na esperança de serem “corrigidos”. O que começa como uma tentativa de apagar aquilo que os torna diferentes transforma-se, porém, numa descoberta inesperada sobre identidade, aceitação e o valor de cada um. Com uma abordagem acessível e divertida, Ser Diferente é Normal , da autoria de Rui Malvarez e encenação de Luís Lourenço, propõe uma reflexão sobre a importância de aceitar a diferença e perceber que não existe apenas uma forma certa de ser. Ficha técnica: Plano 6. Rui Malvarez, autoria; Luís Lourenço, emcenação.
