The word Liberdade [Freedom] is the motto of this show about Miguel Torga. The spelling of Freedom is the nexus of the dramaturgical proposal; each letter corresponds to the beginning of another word that we consider necessary, constitutive, of the semantic content of Freedom.
The texts by Miguel Torga used in this show are mostly spoken by children of Vila Real and Bragança; we wanted the poet’s words to find their proper place in the innocent voices; without virtues or unnecessary embellishments, pure voices to discover the letters, the words, the phrases and the senses, without preconceptions or pomp. We wanted the newest Trans Montanan generations, in their free purity, to discover the author without censoring the “errors” of reading. This magnificent spelling, stammering or even not understanding the meaning, but being stunned, astonished, is, we believe, the best tribute to the living words of Miguel Torga.
In the same way we did not want to celebrate the landscape of the Trans Montana region in a “postcard” evocation; we prefer a scenic discourse based on metaphorical or metonymic evocation in the elaboration of a look that reverberates and echoes, throwing a haze of invisibility capable of capturing the mysterious dimension of Torguian writing; no image is therefore literal, they are also photogrammatic sequences that punctuate the possibility of a visual lexicon, so that each spectator discovers his own “mountain”, his “river”, his “freedom”, his “Torga”.
