Stabat Mater
Theatre
Thursday 12 November · until 22 Nov
Stabat Mater moves the centuries-old iconography of the mother at the foot of the cross into stories of our own time, from a son's pain of living to the cry of a mother who is no longer human. Written and directed by Carlos J. Pessoa, it stars Custódia Gallego and Célia Teixeira at Teatro da Garagem.
Stabat Mater shifts the centuries-old iconography of the mother at the foot of the cross to stories of our own time: the pain of living of a son still young, the drift of an addiction, a road accident, the conflict between motherhood and a cause that calls for other children and, at the limit of language, the cry of a mother who is no longer human… Technical sheet: Teatro da Garagem. Text and direction by Carlos J. Pessoa; with Custódia Gallego and Célia Teixeira.
