PLAYTIME – Radiophonic Theater

By: Mónica Samões and José Pelicano
Duration: 35"
Premiere: CCL - Centro Cultural de Lagos
Lagos, Portugal / 2016

PLAYTIME continues the work of experimentation and creation involving children and regarding language and the non linearity of it’s shapes and processes.
Departing from the idea of radio theater, the purpose is to place the children at the center of an experiment, thus creating for them a space where they can materialize their creativity, imagination and raw energy.

A laboratory into which we invite a group of children to devise and build a dramaturgy for the ether, to question the tyranny of a reality dominated by the visual, a sanctuary of pure imagination.
A synthesis between Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds and Radio Benjamin, between poetic experimentation and language games, collages, quotes and acoustic ready-mades.
