Teatro Só

A poetic show about love that endures in old age, with artistic dir­ec­tion of Sérgio Fernandes (Teatro Só).

How do you write a love story, a love that lasts through time, which fills a life until its twilight and never ends for the ones who hold onto the past? This love story is not inspired by heroic deaths like Romeo and Juliet, but rather in the common life of an elderly couple for whom love has trans­lated into a life of smiles. The death of one of them leaves a haunting loneli­ness in the life of the other. A solitude whose strength of memories gives life to ghosts who never stop loving those who stay behind; zealous guardian angels, in­vis­ible lovers whose kisses can be felt on the wind.

Those who departed are now in­vis­ible, but their soul blesses and pervades the air of the ones they were loved by, as they await a reunion knowing that life must go on for those who stay behind.
