Teatro do Noroeste – Centro Dramático de Viana premieres a special children's production, created in partnership with Ukrainian Director Natasha Syvanenko!
Lápis Cor de Carne (Flesh Coloured Pencil) will be on stage from February 15th to March 10th, at Teatro Municipal Sá de Miranda, with sessions for the school community of Viana do Castelo, from Wednesday to Friday.
The show is based on childhood memories and inspired by the short story Meninos de todas as cores (Children of all colours), by Luísa Ducla Soares. A narrative is built with numerous episodes of discrimination, violence, but also friendship, overcoming and discovering the place of the other. From the memories of a child, the present is created and a near future, fairer and freer for all, is projected.
The production features original text by Cláudia Lucas Chéu, and direction from ETC alumni Natasha Syvanenko -- who in 2022 worked with Schauspielhaus Graz. Natasha's directing distinguishes the show "as a reflection of the present time, exploring daily themes of individual and social growth, aimed at today's families."
