Sombra

Overview

In SOMBRA [SHADOW], inspired by Alberto Manguel's book "The Library at Night", Teatro da Pombagira talks about Censorship, of knowledge and of bodies; about repression, judgment and necropolitics, immersing the public in an environment that reveals the works which were hidden on the highest shelves, locked or even removed from circulation, whether for their queer, erotic or fanciful content. Throughout the performance, the audience can hear the whispers of excerpts from literary works that have somehow suffered from censorship, while the performers take over the space and create explicit imagery that sometimes collaborates in the staging, sometimes disorient understanding.
