TEATRO PRAGA - PRIVATE LIVES

A theatre performance premiered in Lisbon in 2003.
Based on the play by Noel Coward, this show was recipient of the prize "Clube Português de Artes e Ideias"in 2003.
"A decisive dice throwing movement sets the ticket's price. The distribution of the 4 roles to the 6 actors is a Russian Roulette, given, free of charge, to the public. Are Serendipity, Book Crossing, Random Order, Nietzsche [!] and Love [!!?] eggs from the same basket? A bag with a white and black ball called chance. It has to decide, for each day, the right choice among the 72 possible combinations we know exist in this show. But we warn you now that the exponential is infinite, and that the hand that rocks the dice cup is the hand that decides how events turn up. We still don't know whether we like Noel Coward. We haven't figured out where in the infinite grey area separating the intellectual dandy from the futile queer he is at. It is in this devious terrain, in this swamp, that the play and the performance will take place. And it is here that the cool world of Noel Coward suffers a harsh blow from fate: the staging (audience and actors) of this play will never be nothing more than a product of casuistry and assumption of results. And let no one escape the consequences."
