RELEASE<\/h1>

According to the author, she underpins her work mainly with desire and memory, placing in the same space two women who have been separated in 18 years by a time barrier. The text gently approaches a story that could have come from a newspaper, bringing up one of the plenty violence cases we read every day. However, the author chooses to discuss the topic in its \u2018complex day-to-day reality, not creating heroes or villains,\u2019 including lyrical moments during the improbable mother and daughter dialogues, causing the so many times unsaid words to emerge from the silences.<\/p><\/div>\n\t

\n\t\t\t

The performance intends to highlight the playwright\u2019s proposal, navigating through the different points of view that form this family\u2019s relationships: subtleties between mother and daughter, the couple\u2019s matches and mismatches, the proximity and disconnection relations between father and daughter, the perspective over a life experience that changes throughout the time.
\nAnother element present in the text that served as a reference for the performance is a cyclic timely perception, that reveals itself in different manners: in the repetition of the female name in the family; in the mother always losing her sewing thimble; in the fights that usually happen on Fridays and the days of love, always on Tuesdays; in the act of waiting for the daughter which somehow resembles the mother\u2019s waiting routine, among other details.<\/p>\n

However, throughout all the developing construction of the show, observing the Brazilian reality, the actresses took their time to study and update some situations on the text, including some information about the situation of women who have suffered violence in Brazil, once the text is from 2003 and had been situated in Madrid, Spain.
\nIt is at this point that, one more time, Matula brings up a point of view that is connected to the national reality and articulates what is real with what is theatrical, always keeping in mind the activist potential that drama holds and this way unveiling on stage the feminicide epidemic that we currently witness in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two women, separated in time and space by eighteen years. One of them speaks to her daughter, a girl who plays near her mother\u2019s sewing appliances. The other one waits for someone who\u2019s coming while she rehearses the words that will be said on a recorder. Gradually, a story of violence emerges from the silences, as many others, taking turns between divergence and tenderness, rude words and love acts. This movement \u2013 apparently circular \u2013 actually reveals itself as a coil, in which the violence intensity slowly reaches higher levels.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div>
