Description
As in the fable, this Bela Adormecida [Sleeping Beauty] is embodied by someone in the process of waking to the world. Its name is Companhia Maior [Major Company], not because of being especially large, but because it has the particularity (unique in Portugal) of being made up of people – actors, musicians, dancers and more – who are all in their sixties. The show is signed by Tiago Rodrigues , an actor, playwright and stage director born in 1977 who found in the fairy tale the perfect materials to deal with the subjects on which the company is based: the passing of time, the value of experience, the gift of memory, the importance of a second chance. A contemporary variation (in a major tone) of a classic, Sleeping Beauty also includes the decanted materials of the players’ personal stories and experiences, revealing themselves in hoarser voices, white hairs and reading glasses.
