SYNOPSIS
It is an endless story. Told through hundreds of acts, by António Azevedo. Single images that recreate countless everyday situations. Scenography and scale exercises, which automatically, in an unconscious way, convert the viewer into a playwright.
In different places, created by decontextualized elements of our routines, inhabit miniature characters. They are revealed through a store window, for each observer to have the playful and creative task of idealizing their own story.
At Apaixonarte, António Azevedo will present a new chapter of “Era uma vez…” (Once upon a time…).
