Cafezinho — Gaya de Medeiros
A boring place. Someone requests a song.
Some encounters. A mother waiting.
The door opens. Someone came in.
The laugh is naive. It taps in the dark.
A mother despairing.
This research tries to think about ways of hope. On the effort to hope.
Starting from the environment proposed in Café Muller, by Pina Baush, and those characters with a very fragile relationship with life, think about depression, aging and the future.
Waiter, bring the last one?
