Os figos são para quem passa

This is the story of a bear who, “when the world began, at the time when everyone walked without carrying anything with them”, decides to wait, without moving a foot, for the fruits of a fig tree to ripe and be ready to be eaten. But, as the title goes, Figs are for those passing by. Marta Bernardes does a staged reading of the book by João Gomes Abreu and Bernardo P. Carvalho, published by Planeta Tangerina, in 2016. She is convinced that, as Natália Correia used to say, "poetry is meant to be eaten." And she challenges the younger ones: “Now we are going to dream together and get to know reality through our mouth and feet, to learn about other possible relationships with the world: walking in the sun and in the shade, with our hands open, words sprouting.”
