News | Gustavo Afonso is part of the Medeia collective
INET-md joins the Teatro dos Estudantes da Universidade de Coimbra (TEUC) to promote the show "Medeia", which is the result of research carried out by Gustavo Afonso, a PhD student at INET-md, on the piano music and stage music of Victor Macedo Pinto.
11-16.03.2024 | 9:30 pm | Teatro de Bolso do TEUC - Coimbra | Entrance by reservation
This show aims to recreate the myth of Medea, recovering Maria Helena da Rocha Pereira's historical translation of Euripides' text, which will be crossed with the portrait of the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro in the context of the military dictatorship in Brazil in the 1970s, presented by Chico Buarque and Paulo Pontes in Gota d'Água, with the scenario of destruction in the aftermath of the Cold War, described by Heiner Müller in Medeamaterial.
The stage music composed by Macedo Pinto for the performances of Medeia in the 1950s and the music by Buarque that appears in Gota d'Água will be brought into dialogue, in a dialog between live performance and the use of pre-recorded media.
The cast is made up of Catarina Martins, Cristina Valente, Ana de Sousa and Thales Luz, and the musicians Gustavo Afonso (piano), Irina Camões (flute) and Ismael Silva (percussion). The sound design will be by Tatiana Almeida and the technical direction will be by Diogo Lobo.
The show will be performed from March 11 to 16, 2024, at 9:30 pm, in the Teatro de Bolso do TEUC, and is part of the program of the XXVI Cultural Week of the Universidade de Coimbra.
