Sara Carinhas

Limbo” takes place in an unconventional location, which is occupied by a group of young actors of different nationalities and backgrounds who develop a speech around violence, evilness and fear in an attempt to respond to the state of the world, to the war blasting as much outside as inside each one of them. Going back and forth between reality and fiction, dream and death, “Limbo” interweaves syndromes and traumas with songs, choreographies, tea and bombs.
