Support our Physical theatre production CENTURY XXII and help us bring to you, through the means of Art, a perspective on what life in the future the will look like. Contribute and enjoy one of our perks! If you wish to contribute in any different way please get in touch with us or feel free to share our campaign.

“Century XXII” is based on the group members research on physical theatre, particularly Corporeal Mime.

Directed by Miguel Freire and Javier Cencig, this is an original Sci-fi physical theatre play.

What will the future be like, when the present time seems to indicate towards more and more virtual paths ruled by artificial intelligence. Which role will be left for humans and their bodies in this scenario? How is humanity to be defined and what will remain its essence? What will relationships, memory and communication be like?

This project has its foundations on the premise that dramaturgy, expression, creativity and special effects would mainly arise from the actors’ bodies. Also relevant to mention, the fact that this journey towards the future is brought by actors from several countries. The rehearsals started in May in Brazil and are now taking place in Portugal. The shows’ premiere will be in mid September at Nadosah Festival, Czech Republic before following on to Teatro da Comuna, Lisbon, by the end of September.

We chose this crowdfunding campaign as it is a means to allow a fair, community bound and conscious contribution. Whilst being based on an exchange and commitment system in which we strongly believe, allowing space to boost our artistic creation.

Entheos Teatro is a professional theatre company. Currently not supported by either any government or private institution.

We are raising funds to support the expenses of production, rehearsal and creation of our show.

We count on the contribution of those who believe in the value of Art, artists and theatre as a form of expression.

All of those who choose to support our campaign and join us in this journey towards the next century will have the opportunity to watch our show in Lisbon between the 27thof September and 1stof October and/or benefit from our perks.

Join us in our trip to the future!

Together we will arrive in “Century XXII”

Atores do espetáculo: Deidi Lucas, Miguel Freire, Javier Cencig e Carol Lossio

About the author

Entheos is the ethymological origin of the word enthusiasm. And that is the exact feeling that moves us in a world in which Art faces several different challenges.

Born in October 2016 and composed of former students of International School of Corporeal Mime (London), Entheos Teatro is a theatre group based both in Portugal and Brazil who are developing a creative research in the realm of physical, visual and movement theatre.

As a solid common base we chose Corporeal Mime, Etienne Decroux’s technical approach, within which the actor’s body represents the theatre’s essence. We work with this unique way of expression to give shape to our will of transforming this plural world that surrounds us through Art.

    Importantes notícias sobre a Campanha e o nosso projeto!

    Olá a todos os nossos seguidores e contribuidores para a campanha do crowdfunding!

    Escrevemos para partilhar convosco sobre o andamento do nosso projeto que vem acontecendo também graças à vossa ajuda.
    Tivemos a nossa estreia na semana passada no Festival Nadosah, em Mlada Boleslav, República Checa, e a receção do público foi maravilhosa, além de a nossa própria sensação ao fazer o espetáculo ter sido muito boa também.
    Não foi um processo fácil, visto que o tempo se mostrou curto, ainda mais porque tivemos alguns percalços. Menos de 10 dias antes da estreia, por motivos pessoais e que estavam fora do nosso controlo, foi necessário reestruturar o elenco com a saída de Caroline Lossio e Deidi Lucas. Num primeiro momento nós, Miguel Freire e Javier Cencig, como criadores e responsáveis pelo projeto, chegamos a pensar em desistir, devido ao pouco tempo que havia. Mas, em função dos compromissos já assumidos e da nossa crença e paixão pelo projeto, decidimos encarar os desafios e riscos e levá-lo adiante. Apesar de todas as incertezas que isto acarretou, dedicamos muitas horas de trabalho e refizemos todas as coreografias e cenas adaptando-as à nova configuração.
    O resultado foi surpreendente, pois a base dramatúrgica já estava bem estabelecida e, no fim, o espetáculo ficou muito coerente com a sua proposta inicial. Foi uma grata surpresa e acima de tudo uma prova de fogo para o próprio nome Entheos Teatro, pois “entheos” era a palavra sussurrada aos ouvidos de Ulisses pelas ninfas que o fazia continuar adiante quando este, à beira do naufrágio, pensava em desistir.
    Esta semana teremos a nossa estreia também em Lisboa.
    Dias 29 e 30 de Setembro e dia 1 de Outubro, ou seja, já a próxima Sexta 21h, Sábado 21h e Domingo 17h.
    Queremos muito partilhar este espetáculo convosco.
    Se por algum motivo, de distância física ou por agenda, não puder assistir ao espetáculo, fique a saber que irá estar connosco no palco e que a nossa gratidão é imensa. O seu nome consta no nosso site (www.entheosteatro.com) como um dos colaboradores que ajudaram para a realização deste projeto (na secção Século XXII). Também constará em breve nas redes sociais e no programa que distribuiremos no teatro. Além disso, estamos a preparar um clipe exclusivo com várias cenas da peça para que vocês, caso não possam estar presentes, possam ter acesso a pouco do que criámos.
    Temos grandes planos para o futuro. Temos já novos 2 novos convites para participar, no próximo ano, em dois festivais internacionais na Europa, e também, claro, levar o espetáculo para o Brasil.
    Onde quer que seja, com certeza, teremos uma enorme satisfação em contar consigo na primeira fila!
    Obrigado e um grande abraço!
    Miguel Freire e Javier Cencig
