MALA VOADORA

The planet could use one, people are interested, it is ethical, it is urgent, and there will be an audience. Since it would make no sense to handle an ecological issue in a non-ecological way, the making of this play will abide by strict raw material saving principles. Instead of coming up with new things, we’ll recycle what already exists: borrow the scenery, borrow the lighting design, paste already existing music, copy ideas from other plays to prevent waste, emit simple sounds rather than words, and do the same scene over and over instead of constantly create new ones. The play entails three narratives that will mix: the long history of ventures carried out in the Amazon, the story of the group of artists who go to the Amazon to make a green soap opera, and the soapopera’s plot. The group of artists re-enacting the forest exploitation venture that took place in the past insist on it being realistic, because... well, because nothing is what it seems.
