Read full details

Inspired by Georg Büchner's 'Woyzeck', this original play by Leonardo Garibaldi and Leonor Buescu follows Jorge, a single father trapped in a ruthless corporate hierarchy where the strongest—or at least the smartest—survive, but everyone is still family. The production, staged by the company Os Possessos, skewers the contradictions of a free market that demands total submission.

Attendees can expect a sharp, darkly comic performance featuring a cast of eight actors, including Ana Baptista, Catarina Rôlo Salgueiro, and David Esteves. The Sunday show includes Portuguese Sign Language interpretation, making the experience more accessible. Held at the Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon, this is a thought-provoking evening for theatre lovers.
