DO STARS LAST FOREVER? | 2012
(Katharsis Group)
SYNOPSIS
As Estrelas são para Sempre? (Do stars last forever?) introduces several anonymous characters, speakers of different languages and inhabitants of a non-referenced space and time, who exist solely for as long as the spectator perceives them. In a rhapsodic structure, figures show up and vanish, creating a non-linear narrative about childhood, old age and the (in)finitude of things. The show is centered in the acting work and in the confluence of languages (theatre, dance, mime, clown, music and light), with humorous and lyrical scenes, accessible to audiences of all ages. The show was nominated to the APCA Award in the Best Actress category in 2015, besides having received Best Actress Awards at FITUB (Blumenau Festival, 2013), at FESTE (Pindamonhangaba Festival, 2015) and nominations in several categories (best casting, direction, costume and sound effects.
