As Castro

Edited by TNDM II / Bicho-do-Mato, colection "Textos de Teatro"

Text from the show As Castro, by Raquel Castro.

Raquel Castro’s family tree was As Castro‘s starting point. Three hundred people, most of them dead, with their names, places where they lived and professions, set the tone for digging into this family’s stories. There is talk of many mothers. From mothers of mothers of mothers of daughters. And of course, of husbands and fathers, of the time that was different, and of this place that has been Portugal. Stories strangely still capable of keeping us awake at night. The show that gave rise to this book premiered in June 2023, at the Cine-Teatro Paraíso, in Tomar, as part of the National Odyssey of the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II. (80 pages)

The book is available at Livraria do Teatro Online.

Rachel’s death – Raquel Castro

Edited by Douda Correria, 2021

“When you hear these words it means that yesterday (Rita says the date of the show’s eve), day _ of the month _ of 2080, at 99 years old, my heart stopped beating. I don’t know exactly when or where. Maybe as I was crossing the hallway to the kitchen so I could silence the kettle I had left on the stove. Crossing a crosswalk, on top of the zebra, a dead woman that can halt traffic. Or maybe in the theater, as I watch a play, only to be found dead when everybody else has already left, and an actor comes back to pack up a prop.”

Book launch at the October 8th 2021|18h at O Limbo – Rua Morais Soares nº 7 A, Lisboa

(cover by Isabel Lucena/ composition by Joana Pires)
