Tratado, A Constituição Universal
Event
Tratado, A Constituição Universal, a play directed by Diogo Freitas, questions society and political systems, including democracy, for their failure to resolve issues such as fascism, racism, xenophobia or war. On stage, four performers, “children of the 90s”, reflect on these failures and approach new forms of democracy. In the United Democratic States, each State is governed by a different regime, where the concepts of naturalness and migration do not exist. Every five years, the International Voting Day is held. Each citizen will live in the State corresponding to the ideal expressed by the vote. But chaos sets in when the rivalry between states takes on major proportions. Through videos filmed on a smartphone and texts by the actors (from love letters never sent to WhatsApp messages), the performance draws a portrait of a generation born after the fall of the Berlin Wall, doomed, according to Diogo Freitas, “to end up in war".
