CENTRO RECREATIVO DA CRUZ DE PAU, AMORA (SEIXAL, PORTUGAL)
“Watch out for the right!” was Cláudia Dias’ message when, around 2016, Portugal was suffering the austerity measures of a right-wing government that did everything in its power to run them into the ground. Now, in 2023, on the 50th anniversary of their freedom, with democracy under threat once again, these students force us to look to the right once more, but also above our heads: the attacks transcend the physical barriers of a country, and in other places the attacks arrive from the sky, materialised in drones dropping bombs.
In “Monday and Tuesday”, these students combine the fight (physical and in words) of their ambitions and their history, with a look outside their bubble, embracing other realities that, although distant and more violent, can be felt close through empathy. There will be a ring, boxing gloves, fist fights and words, as well as lines that tell stories and show us a reality that we don’t see, or that we choose not to see.
