Description

“I am a mother. I have a daughter called Matilde, who was born in 2020, at a time when the world seemed to be in more than enough disarray to still cope with a pandemic. And here we are. Me, Matilde and the world… and all the Matildes in the world.” Starting from an autobiographical element that is the experience of motherhood, Cátia Pinheiro creates a show that has as its motto the writing of a letter to her daughter. A letter in performative format that results from several collaborations that all start from the same premise: to write a letter about the world we would like this little being to inhabit. Between fear, guilt and unbridled joy, Carta à Matilde comes from a very intimate place to launch a letter-performance to the world that focuses on this relentless relationship that is raising a child and bringing it to a place that is as strange and scary as it is incredible and wonderful.
