Revelação was the first mala voadora project whose team included non-professional performers, in partnership with Artemrede. Successively, the show was made with people from Estarreja, Sever do Vouga, Palmela, Barreiro, Montijo, Sobral de Monte Agraço, Abrantes, Alcanena and Marvila.

Revelação comes from Dostoevsky’s novel Demons, published in 1872. A group of people in a small town meet discreetly to discuss the new political ideology that is shaking Russia. There is talk of revolution. Some become radicals. The group is bound together by a common desire for a new social model, but their actions gradually degenerate. In the show, the characters played by non-professionals are placed in an assembly and those played by professional actors take centre stage – a situation that is also the target of a (stage) revolution.

Revelação is a show about a COMMUNITY, about what is COMMON, and evokes the cultural context in which COMMUNISM emerged.
