What if...
Daniela Cruz
Palcos Instáveis Segunda Casa / Coproduction with Teatro Municipal do Porto

A patient and an active observer who triggers a number of actions. Little physical interaction. A solo duet arises… [Empty room] Entrance is a suspended moment. All the rooms are like that, all I entered. In that border a solution is sought for the solitary journey that I never had the courage to make. The passport are the thoughts, the same thoughts that cause congestion, and which run themselves over for being still. It is delivered at the entrance, and the words are expected to happen as a salt bath that disguises the maselles of a painful body. And, word by word, the emptiness will be raptured.
