No Yogurt for the Dead - HDT VI

Father Rogério Rodrigues, a respected Portuguese journalist, started writing a newspaper article in his final days in the hospital about his experiences as a terminal patient. Upon his father’s passing, Tiago opened the notebook of his father. It contained only a few scribbles, like the abstract drawings of a toddler. 

In this deeply moving play, sixth installment in the series Histoire(s) du Théâtre, each scene is a playful variation on the theme of farewell. The stage forms a surreal landscape where hospital beds glide across an icy sea, as a metaphor for life’s tumult. With music and poetry as the grammar of a theatre that finds reasons for joy even in the saddest of stories
