Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>A performance made up of memories and sensations is how Angolan director Noe\u0301 Joa\u0303o defines \u201cVentos do Apocalipse\u201d, a theatre play based on the work of the same name by Mozambican writer Paulina Chiziane, which premieres on Friday at the 40th Almada Theatre Festival.<\/p>\n

A co-production of Teatro Griot and Artistas Unidos, \u201cWinds of the Apocalypse\u201d will play at the Cine-Teatro of Academia Almadense, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and has the backdrop of the war in Mozambique, in the post-independence period.<\/p>\n

In the construction of the play, actor and director Noe\u0301 Joa\u0303o, who also wrote the text, started with the idea of taking to the stage \u201cthe memory of the war, of the search for a place of comfort, of the promised land\u201d, he told the Lusa agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is this promised land that is in the performance\u201d that the actor claims to have built from his own memories and situations and moments from the original text of the writer who won the Camo\u0303es Prize in 2021.<\/p>\n

A \u201cdrama\u201d in which the director intends to invite the audience to \u201creflect\u201d and \u201cput themselves in the other\u2019s shoes\u201d. And where questions are asked about the extent to which \u201cour memories, our experiences influence, these days\u201d, because the show carries this demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now, where is our house?\u201d asks a character in the play, to whom another responds \u201cWhich house? What house do we want now?\u201d<\/p>\n

Questions that, according to the director, \u201care not limited to the search for just a roof, but also to the search for a country, the country that one wants to build and the place of belonging that one wants to be a part of\u201d.<\/p>\n

Do I belong to this place, this space, this country? These are questions that run through the thoughts of the characters in \u201cVentos do Apocalypse\u201d when, fleeing the war, they begin to walk towards a promised land, wondering, at the same time, whether this will be a place of comfort for everyone.<\/p>\n

As the book is \u201cdense\u201d, Noe\u0301 Joa\u0303o chose not to make a play \u201cof the word\u201d, but rather a piece that \u201cgains a lot\u201d in movement, light, sound and in conjunction with the cast of four black actors, three from Africa and one from Brazil.<\/p>\n

Two men and two women make this composition in the scenic space in a piece that has little text and in which the lines are more in the silences than in the spoken words.<\/p>\n

After the three performances in Almada, \u201cVentos do Apocalipse\u201d will be move to the Teatro da Polite\u0301cnica, in Lisbon, from the 13th to the 29th of July, with sessions from Tuesday to Thursday at 7:00 pm, on Friday at 9:00 pm, and on Saturday at 16:00 p.m. and 21:00 p.m..<\/p>\n
