"Existência" is a mutant play. A kind of a living organism, independent from its own creators and mentors. And it could not be otherwise, for its biggest ambition is not to be caught. Not being repeatable or reproducible. Always and only to be "present". And, as it is known to everybody, the present can only be lived once. That is the moment, and not any other, we want to share with the spectator. To turn him into a witness and an accomplice of the presence of a body presented on stage, offering itself on stage. This is the one dramaturgic line of "Existência". Therefore, "Existence" needs free performers. Free from a future, free from a will, free from the fear of not knowing. In general, they have to admit the evidence that they are not the ones responsible for the sense of whatever they act. All the responsibility is born by the one who watches (reads) them and therefore their only function (their enormous function) is just to be there. Present, attentive, available. The objective is a simple one: to win the spectator's trust. And once achieved, maintaining this confidence throughout time. And, as everything comes to an end, when balance is impossible to maintain, the idea is for both -- performer and spectator -- to loose themselves. If we arrive to this point, the objective of "Existência" has been achieved: to suspend the spectator between real and fictional, occurred and desired, anticipated and unexpected.
