OS IDIOTAS

A group of actors and actresses come together to question their craft and their existence as agents of the theatrical event. It is from this place that the possibilities of theater are rehearsed, problematizing the context in which the work of the actor/actress is confronted with what is made and unmade in them, within the limits of their bodies and the fiction they construct and inhabit. This is the recurring theme in Os Idiotas: the work of actors and actresses as an engine for experimenting with the binomials fiction/reality and, consequently, performers/audience.
