“All that glitters is not gold, all that glistens is not silver. Appearances are deceiving!”. This is a short show mimetic over large distortions of perception. About what it seems and is not… and on what it is and does not seem. An illusion. A disappointment! An allegorical scenes parade and its contradictory. A free and light interpretation of the liturgical concept of deadly sin. A parody on the idea of virtue. The collapse of the maxim: Dura lex sed lex. An outlaw show with no rhyme or reason.
BIO
Luís Hipólito, journalist and actor in progress (born on the 11th of July). In 1995, he graduated in Agronomic Engineering, and specialized in tropical and subtropical studies. He has been working as television journalist for 16 years, and ever since he can remember he’s been doing “work in progress” theatre… Passions cannot be explained! He has worked in cinema for Manoel de Oliveira with Catherine Deneuve, “a lifetime experience for life and for the entire life”. In theatre, he has searched with Lucia Sigalho for the limits in “Sensurround”, for the others realities in “Realidade Real” and everything and nothing in “Procura-se”. He has done broadcasting, translating and subtitling. He has written about music and dance for the newspaper “Expresso” and authored several Chronicles for the magazines Cosmopolitan and Gingko. He likes challenges and, even knowing that “The perfection is the enemy of the good”, he doesn’t stop trying. “I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list” by Susan Sontag describes perfectly his DNA. In 2010, he was invited by A Tarumba - Teatro de Marionetas to attend the Workshop “The actor facing the object”, directed by Agnès Limbos and, since then, he has been working regularly with this company. He premiered in FIMFA “Oh! Please!” (2011), and “Rio, rio, rio...” (2012 and 2014), inspired on the Brazilian diva Carmen Miranda.
