Performance-Instalação para dez actores cujo ponto de partida foi o explorar das raízes moçambicanas do seu criador e director artístico. Lia-se no documento de divulgação “… this new work explores his roots as a child in Mozambique as the grandson of Portuguese colonists and crosses the boundaries of dance, theatre and installation”. O espectáculo foi ainda anunciado como “an exhilarating and astonishing performance installation in which your senses will be bombarded with sounds, sights, smells and flavours”.

Great venue, great performance, well done. All the best.

Just smashin!!

Azione frazionata – effetto molto buono. Spirito inglese.

Interesting!!!! Original.... Good luck.

One of a kind.

Strange but I enjoyed.

Vital real sensual powerful, really enjoyed it. Thank you.

Could have had more speed!

Rather different.

Interesting. Stimulated but not sure why.

Fantastic – only problem is the voyage was too short. A brief trip back home. Thanks.

I feel like I’ve been somewhere very sticky and scary for a child.

Well done. Very organized performance.

I’d love to go to the land where it rains peanuts and the dog’s milk is for all. Fantastic images.

Weird and weirder! Enjoyed the strange experience and very much so the peanuts and coffeebeans. Thanks for a nice time. Love.

Authentic and special. Makes your think and worry. It puts you in it. Every one of your senses is stimulated. You live it.

Very impressive as it was refreshingly new and innovative. Enjoyed the audience/actor relationship of the performance. I was inspired.

The symbolism was very good and the dynamic range of players and venue were realised with the minimum of props and devises. I really found the piece well tailored and stylish, and look forward to further developments.

Muy expresivo and great.

I was inspired.

Congratulations!

Didn’t understand it!

Muito giro. Parabéns.

A little feast for all the senses! Loved the rain and the Grannies.

Obsessive, compulsive behavior shown in an elegant manner. Loved it!

“Tasted short” – I want more, please! Smelt it, Tasted it, Saw it, Touched it, Heard it! Loved it! Thank you.

It’s brilliant, super. Amazing and as always so beautifully unusual. Loved it. Do it again!

Brave, and yet with such a subtle flow which peaked. It was like a big, delightful wave. Very visual and cheeky. More, more, more.

Difficulty to analyze something that has the integrity to defy criticism on technique level. Rather this kind of work inspires work of its own. The sounds counted, the tiny metal noises or the hollow wooden thuds. This was not voyeurism, it is real spectacle. More please.

Superb!

C’était vraiment super, extraordinaire même, je n’avais jamais eu l’occasion auparavent de voir quelque-chose d’aussi surprenant et captivant à la fois. Bravo.

Interesting but rather incomprehensible.

I was sexually abused, raped…

Images, sensations surgissent de partout dans une Afrique intemporelle. Bravo.

Etonant, surprenant, cela m’a plu car trés, trés original.

The more I wanted, the more the mystery began to unfold. I like your style.

Richer, richer, yes definitely richer, and the “Luis Castro” style has definitely arrived. Bonne continuation.

Uma visão interessante de quão animal África é e desperta em quem nela vive ou viveu o lado animal, básico e primitivo. Forte, bonito e essencial.

I have never seen any performance with such original ideas. It was quite sensational. I had expected a performance with words, so it took some extension of spirit to grasp the meat of things.
