IT SUDDENLY STOPS ME
Pára-me de Repente
IT SUDDENLY STOPS ME it's a show about Portugal, about Memory, about the Dream or Nightmare that we carry on our shoulders. We, children of a country founded on the mythical idea of the Empire, fed by greatness and unable to recognize itself in its own shadow. A scathing look at everything we think we are and the nothingness we assume.
IT SUDDENLY STOPS ME, it is a spectacle that begins in the Colonial War, which projects us at other pivotal moments in our collective history and brings us “back home”, exhausted from the Journey and amazed at the Future.
