ANDdirected by Ricardo Neves-Neves and played by Cristóvão Campos, Gabriela Barros, Romeo Costa and Adriano Luz, the play written in 2009 focuses on a “love triangle where no certainty resists” and depicts a crossroads of emotions between people, according to a note from the producer.
“A labyrinth of desire and indecision when life changes from one moment to the next,” adds the producer about the show premiered in London in 2009.
According to the synopsis published by the producer, João has for several years a stable relationship like his boyfriend, M.. When they decide to take a break, João accidentally falls in love with F., a woman with whom he crosses his gaze in a coffee shop.
The motto is given to a list of indecisions that turn John's life around and end up in a three-way dinner.
The play put on stage in the West End and which The New York Times referred to as “an extraordinary, hypnotic and absolutely contemporary comedy” or which The Guardian defined as “an acute and witty portrait of a man divided between his longtime partner and a woman who loves him” will have recitated on Monday and Tuesday at 9:00 p.m., needed the Production Force.
In Portugal, the play had been staged in 2017 by the Teatro do Vain, with staging and plastic direction of Daniel Gorjão.
Tickets are already on sale for dates until November 24.
