In Má Educação – Peça em 3 Rounds [Bad Manners – A Play in 3 Rounds], the stage turns into a boxing ring. A tale piano follows the fights like a referee who engages in a dialogue with whomever is squaring off and also with the music that can be heard. On stage, a dancer, an actor and a child from three different generations come into play and enter a dispute: who teaches what to whom? Who prepares whom and for what future? Who accepts to withdraw himself to make way for another who’s coming? A mirror of education: the tension between teachers and pupils, between past and future, between the existing school and the one we wish for. A presentation by Inês Barahona and Miguel Fragata, choreographed by Victor Hugo Pontes, where theatre and dance seek the revolution of which the future is made. — Inês Barahona & Miguel Fragata
