Theatre - "Saudade ici et là-bas"
Thursday 18, Friday 19, Saturday 20 April at 8 pm, and Sunday 21 April at 4.30 pm, Théâtre des Muses
"Saudade" is a Portugese word for a complex feeling of melancholy, nostalgia, and hope. A sense of "being present in the past, or past in the present". Idalio, his sister Joana and their nephew Manu return to the old house, fling open the doors and windows, and a whole stream of history emerges. How can they stay true to it? How can they pass it on? Do they need it? Or want it? How does one come to terms with an ideal that one has always striven for, but can never be achieved?
