[SINOPSE]
Este terceiro espectáculo da trilogia é construído a partir do último livro da trilogia de John Berger, Lilac and Flag (1990), em que as personagens são apresentadas num local completamente diferente, a metrópole. Aí, os camponeses perdem-se num meio cujos costumes lhes são estranhos, explorados pelos patrões, ansiando constantemente por um regresso à vida rural que abandonaram ou da qual lhes resta apenas uma vaga memória. Neste espectáculo, seguimos Zsuzsa e Sucus, dois jovens, através das ruas (grandes arranha-céus, favelas, jardins, lixeiras…) da cidade imaginária de Tróia – uma cidade que é como qualquer outra grande metrópole do nosso tempo, como Paris, como Nova Iorque, como Tóquio, como São Paulo, como Lisboa. Uma história de amor e resistência no final do século XX, que fecha o ciclo (ou abre um novo) que o teatromosca tem vindo a dedicar ao escritor inglês John Berger e aos temas da ruralidade e da diáspora.

[SOBRE A TRILOGIA «dos seus trabalhos»]
Na sua trilogia Into Their Labours (Pig Earth, Once in Europa e Lilac and Flag), o escritor inglês John Berger documenta a vida dos camponeses na pequena aldeia dos Alpes franceses para onde se mudou há mais de trinta anos, num estilo literário que mistura ficção e não-ficção. Com uma forte componente gráfica, é apresentado um mundo que nos é estranho, mas, apesar disso, não deixa de nos soar familiar, visto que retrata uma cultura campesina na qual os nossos antepassados viveram. Berger assume-se aqui, mais do que em qualquer outra obra sua, como contador de histórias, e esta trilogia parece-se mais com uma colecção de histórias e contos de origem popular interligados entre si.

TRÓIA
Trilogy «Into Their Labours»
from the literary work of John Berger
Directed by Pedro Alves
Premiered on October 27, 2011 at Centro Cultural Malaposta
[SYNOPSIS]
This third performance of the trilogy is based on John Berger's last book of the trilogy, Lilac and Flag (1990), in which the characters are introduced to a completely different location, the metropolis. There, the peasants get lost in a culture that is strange to them, exploited by their bosses, constantly yearning for a return to the rural life they left behind or what they only vaguely remember. In this performance, we follow Zsuzsa and Sucus, two young people, through the streets (tall skyscrapers, slums, gardens, dumps...) of the imaginary city of Tróia - a city that is like any other big metropolis of our time, like Paris, like New York, like Tokyo, like São Paulo, like Lisbon. It is a story of love and resistance in the late 20th century that closes the cycle (or opens a new one) that teatromosca has been dedicating to the English writer John Berger and the themes of rurality and diaspora.
[ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE]
The performance was also presented at the António Silva Municipal Auditorium from November 24th to 26th.

[ABOUT THE TRILOGY «Into Their Labours»]
In his trilogy Into Their Labours (Pig Earth, Once in Europa, and Lilac and Flag), the English writer John Berger documents the lives of peasants in a small village in the French Alps where he moved more than thirty years ago, using a literary style that mixes fiction and non-fiction. With a strong graphic component, the trilogy portrays a world that may be unfamiliar to us, yet still feels familiar as it portrays a peasant culture in which our ancestors lived. In this trilogy, Berger sees himself more than in any of his other works as a storyteller, and it resembles a collection of interconnected stories and tales of popular origin.
