Público Reservado

A man who comes back to die, to say goodbye. Five women who ceased to exist (but not to want) the day the man turned the corner... “Estava em Casa e esperava que a Chuva viesse” [I Was Home Waiting for the Rain to Come] is a text on the experience of memory loss and reinvention. Here one looks for a place of intimacy to listen to the voices of these women who are but shadows, sound shapes.

Founded in 2013, Público Reservado stems from the need to consolidate the work of Renata Portas with steady collaborators, so as to systematise the artistic signs she has developed as a theatre director since 2006. It carries out experimental work, based on language and on research on theatre politics and its place as an independent discipline.
