SYNOPSIS
ACCELERATION is the show that celebrates the 30th anniversary of Teatro da Garagem. ACCELERATION is an anthropophysical conjecture, which explores the scenic possibility of intersecting the Christian Faith, because, uncontrolled, it runs through our veins, with Quantum Mechanics. We speak of Faith in people, as particles, which can be so many, that are all, past, present and future, and so different from each other. In this show, we bring together all these people, adults, actors, teens, children, mass of particles in acceleration. Will Faith and Quantum Mechanics be derivations of the same miracle of Reconciliation; of the fraternal bridge, of solitary solidarity? Is there a Memory that expands and contracts, beyond us, a legacy that becomes effective, in Acceleration’s power, frenzy and slowness? From Acceleration to Reconciliation, we continue to experience this anthropophysical conjecture, in which Theatrical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics meet. Will this effort, this delusion, this tacit agreement, this crucifixion, this 30 year celebration of Teatro da Garagem be worth it? Years we live by, that are ours and do not belong to us? Years that have been, and are, giving, fading and commotion? We do not know nothing, nor do we have the right to demand anything. That is accurate, that’s enough for us.
Thank you.
