Festival
Event
The mala voadora company brings to us its An English Family event, after the premiere in our programming last year. Festive reunion and annual sharing of English authors and texts dear to the company, this sixth edition brings to Teatro Carlos Alberto and to the Monastery of São Bento da Vitória three shows traversed by the concept of an end, part of a larger programme taking place simultaneously at the mala voadora’s venue in Porto. In Festival, four office employees commit themselves to imagining life after death. Microbes, monitoring systems, switches or multiple versions of ourselves are part of their speculative exercises, in search of nuances of post-mortem happiness. Using as its starting point the book Sum by neuroscientist David Eagleman, Jorge Andrade directs this science fiction show, which brings to a close a trilogy developed by the company around the notion of happiness or paradise.
