Palcos Instáveis Segunda Casa aims to ensure that emerging theatre creators can perform up and down Portugal, increase their visibility and become known through fresh choreographic languages and regular programming of contemporary dance. Pedra Dura brings two performances to fill this empty space.
Sagração de quem Era is a kind of posthumous eulogy to someone who was never duly valued. In memory of what once existed, the performance looks at human interaction with nature from a stance filled with praise and fiction.
