mala voadora

May 8th at 7 pm . May 9th at 5 pm . Cinderela by Lígia Soares . mala voadora , DDD + FITEI

A man and a woman enter stage and approach each other, disposing themselves with technique in a romantic stationary pose that lasts for the whole duration of the performance. 

"Cinderela" is a dialogue about romantic love, which, by resisting the change of position, reveals an analogy to social immobility. Starting from an evocation of characters of a well-known fairy tale, this piece tries to update these archetypical characters to elaborate on a new paradigm of the present – mainly in the so-called middle class, questioning the values of social climbing, economical dependence and family.
