Ricardo Neves-Neves
Transatlântico
2022
We are in a waiting room. Those who arrive here are preparing for a voyage to the other side of the Atlantic. Many are the people who must pass through this place, many whose paths will cross as they wait, many are the stories that must be told during this time. Transatlântico (Transatlantic) is Ricardo Neves-Neves’ encounter with Companhia Maior, a collective of actors over the age of 60 who, every year, are directed in a show by different artists or artistic collectives. Whether it is a farce, a comedy or a melodrama, the stage director will pursue their musical dramaturgy work, taking the sung word to the stage, and discovering new paths with this group of very special performers.
