"Onde estavas quando leste o primeiro jornal"

About

A theatrical piece with text and direction by Sónia Barbosa, created with and performed by Cristóvão Cunha from the company Ritual de Domingo. On stage, an actor and piles of newspapers and magazines that he has kept since 1995. Starting from this personal archive spanning three decades, and from the testimony of several journalists, the performance crosses the personal and the collective, the analogue and the digital. It questions what journalism was, what it is today and what memory of it we want to carry into the future. It speaks of freedom of information, of democracy and of the attention we give to what we read. It is a proposal designed for secondary education and for the general public, and opens space for conversation with the audience. The lighting, also designed by Cristóvão Cunha, highlights the mountains of paper that occupy the stage.
