Sinopse

The text is the result of a verbatim process, meaning it was copied word for word and faithfully uses what the interviewees said about their life in Africa during the Portuguese colonial period. The gathering of testimonies and a detailed historiographical research combined to create a text that portrays the complexity of Portugal’s recent history, and particularly the end of Portuguese colonialism. — André Amálio

Hotel Europa is a duo of artists from two different countries (Portugal and the Czech Republic) with a dance and theatre background. André Amálio andTereza Havlíčková met in 2008 while attending the master’s degree in performance making at Goldsmiths, University of London. They’ve been working together ever since, creating performances that explore the boundaries between dance, performance and theatre. Their collective creations overlay autobiography, family stories and national history, weaving a complex web of references from both popular and classical culture, and allowing the audience to travel between cultures, time periods and genres. The company produced the performances “Hotel Europa” [Europe Hotel] (2010), “Amálio vs. Amália” (2011), “TV Heroes” (2012), “FÉ” [Faith] (2013), “KinoWaltz” (2014) and more recently “Portugal Não É Um País Pequeno” [Portugal Is Not a Small Country] (2015).
