Quem sou eu? 3º Edição
In Who am I? we celebrate life. We celebrate being present and even more aware, after the long months of pandemic, returning to encounter, sharing, love that saves and strengthens, creating a sensitive way of being and feeling the world.
Together with the cast we have created the text and built the puppets, at the same time developing the actor’s work in all its dimensions. From the experiences, memories and beliefs of everyone, in this show we talk about life, loneliness and love, integrating puppets in this dialogue with the cast.
Who am I? is one more journey made from many steps imprinted by these people who along their way help us find the beauty there is in everyone.
Isabel Barros
All – (choir) We live here and there
We tell stories here and there
We can laugh
We can play
Sometimes the pace may be slow, but we get there.
In our time, at our pace.
And time doesn’t stop!
The show stops.
It will be over
But the party is infinite and is now just beginning.
