From witches to machines:
Double Trouble is back at Teatro Campo Alegre
March

From extinction to dystopia, from museum to medieval, from witches to machines. Showroomby Igor Cardellini, Tomas Gonzalez and Rébecca Balestra and LA BURLA, by Bruno Brandolino and Bibi Dória in collaboration with Leticia Skrycky will be presented. On the 24th and 25th of March, Campo Alegre will once again be the epicenter of the Double Trouble program.
LA BURLA is the result of a partnership between Bruno Brandolino and Bibi Dória in collaboration with Leticia Skrycky. The performance is a choreographic fiction that accompanies two figures located in a dystopian reality and that translates into an encounter between the sacred and the profane, which takes shape in rituals and invocations of entities that submerge from the depths. Saints, witches, seers, devils, monsters and heroines cross the imagery of this piece.
Showroom is a show about replacing humans with machines, based on the premise of a society based on the idea of progress that is gradually being replaced. In a white box, an actress alternately voices a trade fair presenter, a taxi driver, a cashier, an elevator assistant, a provincial counter attendant, among others. Human lives that became the residue of productivity, now relegated to the periphery and eliminated. Showroom, presented for the national premiere, is a museum piece, a life-size diorama, the artifact of a universe on the verge of extinction.
Double Trouble — which is now in its sixth edition — is the most undisciplined program at Teatro Municipal do Porto, which began in the 2020/2021 season, and which has already featured names such as Susana Chiocca, Tales Frey, Flávio Rodrigues, Théo Mercier & Steven Michel, Carlos Azeredo Mesquita, VÃO Group, Matthew Steinke / Sonoscopy, La Tierce, Luísa Saraiva & Senem Gokce Ogultekin, Anna Massoni, Julian Hetzel, Xana Novais, Mafalda Banquart & Emanuel Santos.
LA BURLA and Showroom are presented on Friday and Saturday, March 24th and 25th, at Teatro Campo Alegre.
