STILL ON THE ROAD

CINEMA RIVOLI, TYRE, LEBANON

International Women Monodrama Festival of Lebanon
PROMOTED BY TIRO ASSOCIATION FOR ARTS 

Still On the Road is a new approach on the text by Carlos J. Pessoa, On the Road or The Hour of the Rainbow, eleven years after its first production. In a version thought out considering the invitation to participate in the International Women Monodrama Festival of Lebanon, in Lebanon, Still On the Road takes us back to the story of Maria’s journey, the story of a woman who, in her route between Cape St. Vincent and Pulo do Lobo, creates from still memories the absence that fills her life and that springs from the landscapes. Still On the Road stands as a tribute to her Mother, to whom the director, Ana Palma, dedicates this show.

RADIODRAMA

IN EVERYBODY’S LIPS CYCLE

A TEATRO DA GARAGEM INITIATIVE
PARTNERSHIP WITH RTP – RÁDIO E TELEVISÃO DE PORTUGAL

IN RECORDINGS | FEB 2019 | RDP STUDIOS

The Portuguese language is one of the engines of our public service contract. We create an open doors Theatre, with what comes, with what is manifested. Teatro da Garagem partakes in a theatrical event that involves more and more people who are all different from each other; the spirit of time, encourages us to search in those commitments for a renewed theatrical practice. Considering that Cesário said the verses: “taking to the railroad those who leave happy…Madrid, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, the World”, then maybe it would be appropriate to think that the direction of the journey has reversed; that in the global World we find the singular place of an unexpected network.

Carlos J. Pessoa

On Everybody’s Lips is a programme cycle of touring by Teatro da Garagem, which focuses on the word to promote not only writing for contemporary theatre, but also the specific culture of each country. It is precisely the particularity, of travelling without leaving the same place or even making a pole out of theatre, to where different accounts and descriptions of the world converge, that characterizes one of the circulation projects, of the word and the texts, that constitute the thematic programme cycle On Everybody’s Lips: Radiodram.

Radiodram is a project of peculiar circulation, that promotes and advertises contemporary dramaturgy in Portuguese, written directly in the language of Camões or translated from other languages, from the same place – a studio of radio broadcasting. The project results in a radio show that will be broadcasted in the various channels of RDP and other associated radio stations, in Portugal and the Portuguese-speaking countries, through RDP África.

STAGED READING WITHIN THE PROGRAMME OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
What’s love got to do with it?

I stretch my foot and the heel touches the smooth warm flesh of a cheek; I turn left, with my back to the lamplight, and I’m met by a calm soft breath; I gesture casually in the dark and my hand, involuntary clasp of fingers, wrist, throbbing blood, falls over a warm naked breast or a baby’s little head, with a tuft of black fuzz on the top of a bald spot, the throbbing fontanelle; we breathe in each other’s mouths, we trade arms and legs, sweat puffs, with each other, for each other, so fit together, so wrapped up and tangled in the same heat as if our veins and arteries pumped the same blood in a circle, as if they throbbed regularly silently  one single vivifying sap.

WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? PERFORMANCE, AFFECTIVITY, INTIMACY

The boundaries between the public and the private sphere are gradually fading away. This sometimes implies a reduction in the active participation of citizens, who are transformed into mere spectators of other lives and intimacies amplified through the media. In turn, the media are creating new spaces for personal and collective expression by making these porous relations between the public and the intimate more visible, with a facility that was previously unimaginable.
Intimacy has become the center of public performances, with all its accompanying contradictions and paradoxes. This conference explores the ways in which contemporary performance both questions and reformulates our experiences and definitions of intimacy. How do artistic practices question the boundaries between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the individual and the collective? In what way do the media, the social networks and leading a life that is geared towards a global world affect our understanding of the spaces of intimacy? What are the new places of our affections and emotions?
For two days, artists and researchers will investigate the relationship between performance, intimacy and affection from an aesthetic as well as political and sociological point of view.
At the end of each session, a conversation with Catherine Wood (Monday) and Rabbya Naseer (Tuesday), curators and thinkers of contemporary art, is presented as they continue to deepen the topics covered throughout the day.
