A FESTA

A FESTA
by Mundo Perfeito at Teatro Maria Matos, Lisbon, Portugal
Until the 27th July | Wednesday to Saturday at 21H30 | Sunday at 17H00


A FESTA (The Party) is the first performance created in the frame of project ESTÚDIOS. This performance has its origin in three workshops directed by the acclaimed portuguese film director João Canijo; by Pavol Liska and Kelly Copper, the artistic directors of the american company Nature Theatre of Oklahoma and by the congolese coreographer Faustin Linyekula. All these artists were asked to think how would they create a work with the same subject: the Party. Actors and writers participated in the three workshops and later met to create a piece that would develop and melt down the very different experiences of each workshop.



ESTÚDIOS will happen every year, inviting several artists to explore a subject in the frame of a workshop that will be attended by a group of actors and writers that will, afterwards, build a performance based on that experience, promoting theatre as a space of creative meeting and collective thinking.

A FESTA is a collective creation of Cátia Pinheiro, Cláudia Gaiolas, Filipe Homem Fonseca, Joaquim Horta, Magda Bizarro, Marcello Urgeghe, Nelson Guerreiro, Rita Blanco, Thomas Walgrave, Tiago Rodrigues and Tónan Quito
