We are the revolution
It’s political theatre, no doubt about it. One hundred people on stage. Actually, it’s more of a landscape of people to be precise. Each one of them has a profession, their own place in society. Their work, together with their individuality, disturbs the neoliberal political paradigm, whose only interest is capital. A crowd of people from all ages and generations constitute a kind of atlas, a pastiche of social issues, but at the same time also embody a tremendous sense of strength and solidarity. A silent revolution. This performance is motivated by the common idea that art is an active player in society. The drama of this event draws inspiration from a nursery rhyme that never ends and constantly draws in more and more characters. The performance thus starts with one person performing and ends with a hundred of them. The authors, Ana Borralho & João Galante, famous Portuguese artists, have prepared the performance in cooperation with local participants from all generations and backgrounds.
