By: Ana Borralho & João Galante WORLD PREMIERE / 20 APR > 02 MAY Sala Estúdio Teatro Nacional D. Maria II (Lisbon, PT, 2021) M14 / 60' aprox
In Time to Reflect, Ana Borralho & João Galante question the idea of the public as a reflection entity, following their developed logic of working with specific groups within society. In this performance, the public is seen as an engine of thought and image. A journey that will intersect with the poetry of José Miguel Silva, which reflects in a crude, but poetic and sarcastic way, the signs of the time that we are living.
Time to Reflect is a play on the afterlife.
A mechanism of reflection and meditation on living death, on dying and coming back to life. Time and time again. About surviving death.
To look at us from the outside. Like an out-of-body experience.
Lives dissolved in mirror balls in the era of surveillance capitalism.
The autobiographical even more beautiful and sad.
The premiere features the participation, in its cast, a group of TNDMII’s resident actors and 10 finalist students of the Lisbon Theater and Film School.
