Visões Úteis - Trans/Missão
InTrans/Missão a musician and a playwright share with the audience their work process in the creation of an Opera, which they hope will be revolutionary. A work that deals with the struggle and hardships of trying to organise and mobilise any sort of collective - be it an artistic team, a community or a whole population... of which the Portuguese example is an especially good one. However, throughout this public presentation, the divisions between the two artists become evident, as they engage in an open conflict that threatens to ruin the whole project.
Trans/Missão is a hybrid show, mixing theatre and music, in which the artistic collaborative process is used as a reflection of a national identity that seems incapable of mobilising and inscribing itself in history. Humor is the tool used to explore the tension between thinking and acting, and the apparent incapacity to move on from an accurate diagnosis to a concrete change.
