In Plano Comensal de Leitura, Marta Bernardes sets the challenge: let’s imagine every dining room, every living room and every classroom as an ambitious ‘national theatre’. Based on Afonso Cruz’s novel Vamos Comprar um Poeta, a story about the importance of Poetry, Creativity and Culture in our lives, which celebrates the beauty of ideas and selfless actions, the show discusses the role of theatre and art in public affairs, thinking about it from the small private and domestic actions that everyone can, can manage or wants to do. On stage, we talk about politics, beauty and utopia with a sense of humour and a sense of love.
