Synopsis
Five short stories that explore, without words, certain human foibles that may not be as trivial or as inevitable as they seem.
Five stories accessible to all ages, so we can laugh at who we are and leave the theatre hugging one another.
We raise children to prepare them for their future as adults, treating their concerns and their way of being as merely provisional, with no place or purpose in the adult world.
Drawing on five of the seven deadly sins, Caroline Bergeron has quietly crafted this wordless show, made up of five fables that, with humour, poke fun at some of the quirks of our society: the obsession with power, with money, with competition — while turning the sins of gluttony and sloth into virtues.
A partir de cinco dos sete pecados mortais, Caroline Bergeron elaborou subterraneamente este espetáculo sem palavras, composto por cinco fábulas que, com humor, critica algumas manias da nossa sociedade: a obsessão pelo poder, pelo dinheiro, pela competição, e transformarão em virtudes os pecados da gula e da preguiça.
