Tiago Correia /
A Turma

All over Europe and elsewhere cities react against the excesses of an increasingly intense social phenomenon. Focusing on the social issues that result from it, Tiago Correia’s new creation for A Turma aims at analysing the side effects of tourism and its influence on human relations. “Turismo” [Tourism] is the result of a cross-disciplinary research and experimentation process developed between Porto, Loulé and Barcelona. A new dramaturgy born from plural assumptions shared with Francisco Lobo (film direction), Rui Monteiro (lighting design), Rui Lima and Sérgio Martins (original music), Ana Gormicho (set design) and Sara Miro (costumes design).
