Scenography and assistant direction
acta  |  march 2026
A student meets with her professor in his office. Three times. First, to discuss her grade in a course she's been struggling with. Then, to speak about a supposed situation of harassment that allegedly took place during the first encounter. Finally, to present the demands of a group of students supporting the accusation.

Between the two characters, an atmosphere is established in which truth becomes relative and doubt leaves little room for certainties. In a power game played out between the public and the private, we come to feel that—even when present—we may not be able to distinguish what is true from what is not
The scenography builds a symbolic, dreamlike environment. All blue. A surrealist space - pure atmosphere, pure tension. A telephone hangs from the ceiling, suspended, unreachable - a gesture that echoes the absence between them, the struggle to communicate, the distance that no words can bridge.

"The set design and costumes are by Rafael Davide Góis, a young, emerging artist from Faro who already has an international career."
