We challenged Teatro Praga to create a performance for the celebration of the 125 years of São Luiz. Deeming it appropriate to revisit musically the history of a theatre venue that lived silent films transitioning to sound, saw Antoine and Sarah Bernhardt, lived through fires and reconstructions and was renamed thrice, this company created a musical and, as in many of their works, revisits it with a critical distance that allows them to go a lot further than a mere eulogist celebration, and is able to rethink the role of the theatre in our time and in the city we inhabit today.
