Thunderous Portable Theatre

Synopsis

In this workshop we are going to build a portable, moving and mutant theatre. An object that looks like a suitcase and that inside keeps the characters (which are assembled and disassembled) that inhabit different stories and places. Inspired by João Fazenda’s What a Great Bang performance, we set off from the idea of characters that bump into each other and from that moment onwards exchange a characteristic. From that exchange improbable and perhaps even silly stories will emerge.
