Mil-folhas

Synopsis

There are books that are sweet, like a mille-feuille. And there are others that, at first glance, seem bitter. LU.CA selected books that grow-up with us so that we can dive into them. Works we studied at school, written by renowned authors and that have been a part of our lives from the very start.

We call this idea Mil-Folhas (mille-feuille)

We want to create new relationships between children and young audiences with these books through dramatic expression. Small enactments, conferences, readings, talks and workshops, always within schools. We explore the works, their intentions, motivations and even their hidden messages, thus contributing to the work already started by the teachers.

With Mil-folhas we want to question the world and foment the intellectual and cultural development of students through the relationship between Theatre and Literature. We will discover that a book can be as good or even better than a mille-feuille.
