About

In the context of Teatrão's next creation (premiering December 9^th), based on the work «da familia» [of family] by Valério Romão, Teatrão organizes, in collaboration with CES, a series of talks about different aspects of the contemporary family universe.

of family is a collection of twelve short stories written by Valério Romão. With a dramaturgy created by him, based on five of these stories, Teatrão will perform them starting in December. The five familiar episodes have a fabulist, mythical and fantastic structure, although paradoxically mundane. The episodes are not exactly located in this or that era, they are not part of the past although they are also there, nor are they contemporary, although recognizable in everyday life. Without having any essayistic, or formal, pretensions, the melodramatic treatment, in the best sense of the word, has an epic structure that inadvertently or deliberately, who knows, unsettles the receiver.
