Synopsis
Valentina and Valeria Are Not Dead
Flávia Gusmão and Jacinto Lucas Pires
Esmeralda’s rehearsal is suddenly interrupted by two figures — Valentina and Valeria. But who are they, exactly? They seem to exist in a kind of desert space, somewhere between the Internet and the Beyond. Have they emerged from the actress’s memory lapses? Are they a product of her imagination?
Valentina and Valeria Are Not Dead is a play about the intersections between memory and imagination, fiction and non-fiction, theatre and life, death and mourning. A multi-voiced monologue that plays with the process of theatre itself, revealing one, two, three women.
