Performance > Pedro Penim and André e. Teodósio
Production > Pedro Pires
Is there such a thing as European identity? Does the old continent have a past as well as its age? Does this past bind or separate? Can we understand each other if we speak thirty-five different languages? The two-man “show” staged by Teatro Praga, one of Portugal’s most exciting experimental theatres, looks at these questions and rather than answering them, confronts the audience with more questions. To pin down Europeanness they chose the biggest kitsch parade of the common cause, the Eurovision Song Contest, where the representatives of peoples with different cultures, languages, ways of life and standards of living join in a parade of uniform tastelessness. The two talented young actor-directors, Pedro Penim and André e. Teodósio have created a spectacular and ironic performance that, in keeping with its subject, is multilingual and uses many elements drawn from other branches of the arts.
