The Municipal Theatre of Porto under the context of its Parallel Programme, features the newest show of Praga Theatre "Romeo and Juliet - an excellent and sad dessert", 17 and 18 November at the IAC, in Rivoli.
Based on Shakespearean Theatre, André e. Teodósio, Cláudia Jardim and Pedro Penim wrote and created a text revolving around the issue of the classic love story: two teenagers in love on a collision course with their families and with the repressive society.
In a fun environment in a kitchen on stage, actors guide the young spectators through the story of this cursed romance, mixing it with a delicious cheesecake named after the two heroes of this Shakespearian novel; thus, the drama is merged with the ricotta cheese, the lover's blood is guava jelly, sword battles are fought with spatulas and casseroles and biting a cookie can help mend a broken heart.
