Quoting Maria.
- Quote :
Right!The press here has given a lot of attention to the fact..They even wrote an article in El Pais, with the title! Iberia, capital Lisboa!
People think that we , our countries, already have a prosperous economic partnership. There are lots of families that have portuguese and spanish members, lots of portuguese that work in Spain and lots of Spaniards that work in Portugal.And this should be enough...
Bear in mind that Saramago has lived in Spain for the last 15 years and his wife is a spanish jornalist!!So...
Our partnership is already quite extensive..
Lots of portuguese women that live near the spanish border prefer to give birth to their babies in your country , Maria..., so we are very close indeed..
Political commentators and intelectuals are very angry at Saramago
How could he???? they keep asking...
He must have gone mad...
Most of us admit that he must have forgotten his country by now.., because he hardly ever comes back here.
Now, for those who happen to looooove theatre, like me..LOOOOOOL!!!
I mentioned the play " The Pillowman "
It is also a kind of horror story ( just in the line od the moonspell Gothic music
) and it was chosen and translated into portuguese by best theatre actor Marco..
SINOPSIS (In a police state, a writer and his family are arrested , because the facts that he writes about in his stories, begin to happen in a gruesome way one after the other...)
It was a great hit in the States and in the UK and in Portugal..
I enjoyed it so much that i intend to see it again.. :kataus:because it is going to be performed again...here in this country..
Some pics now..
The cast in the States and the cast in Portugal ( Two brothers and the police inspectors thsat interrogate them)
In the States
In Portugal...
In the prison cell..
In the interrogation room..
Don´t misss this, if by any chance it´s performed in your country...
Just fantastic...
