REGISTRATION: Childhood

For five months, we had the opportunity to work with a group of children from the Castelo Branco area. With them, we once again found "whys" that we too had once asked, dogs that fly, cats that sing, countries that were previously unknown, images of things in two dimensions that, together, create a world where the essential is invisible.

PERFORMING ARTS

For five months we had the opportunity to work with a group of children from the Castelo Branco area.

With them we once again found “whys” that we too once asked, dogs that fly, cats that sing, countries that were unknown until then, images of things in two dimensions that together create a world where the essential is invisible.

SYNOPSIS

Once upon a time there was a country. Period. Paragraph.

This country had the shape of a rectangle and was also shaped like the letter “I” or a shoebox. That country had four main cardinal points: north, south, east and west and people walked back and forth, left and right. Like cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles and trains. Sometimes people went round and round and sometimes they stood still in the same place.

In that country there were people, as in all countries, and people had different sizes and shapes, as in all countries. There were short people, tall people, so-and-so people, fat people, thin people and so-and-so. People with long hair, people with short hair, straight, curly and so on; and there were even people with no hair, who were called bald. Beautiful people, ugly people, according to everyone’s taste, of course.

In this country, like in all countries, people also spoke one main language, but you could also hear them speaking other languages, and sometimes they were silent too. And the silence in this country was the same as the silence in other countries.
