OPOSTOS BEM DISPOSTOS
2013
He says things that are so thin, so thin that she almost dies of hunger hearing him. She expects to inherit quite a huge fortune, he shrugs and eat apples. She rolls her eyes now and then, he replies slant-eyed. If he's a little happy in a time of sadness, she cries even more of laughter. She always takes things headon, he always sees things from another viewpoint. He's like this and like that and she is nothing like that. While she easily walks away from the house, he moves as if he was carrying the house on his back. While he tries not to be like her, she finds a way to avoid being like him.
Eugénio Roda in Contra Dizeres
Our show aims ludicrously to contribute towards the education and development of youngsters in building a new look when facing something different. Keeping archaic stereotypes still gives rise to social, educational and behaviour line quality and discrimination, almost always jeopardizing feminine identity. Intervention in the theatrical area can and should assume a pedagogical and constructive aspect facilitating the course with a view to promote otherness. The deconstruction of stereotyped models promotes gender equality in the absolute respect of the other.
