Performances
Companhia de Teatro de Sintra – Chão de Oliva presents “Earth Quadriptych,” with four CCTA plays exploring the climate crisis through urgent and creative narratives. With Chantal Bilodeau’s Homo Sapiens and Elyne Quan’s Pond Life, the tone is satirical, in a direct encounter between actresses and audience. Original Fire by Kevin Loring brings together three generations, with an additional voice on stage. This reading performance ends with E.M. Lewis’s poem Earth Duet, which inspired this event title and is the starting point for a collective creation, open to the audience.
Performers: Susana C. Gaspar, Paula Pedregal, and one additional guest
Producer: Nuno Correia Pinto
