POPULAR
Sara Inês Gigante
POPULAR is a challenging show based on the autofiction that the creator and performer intends to be a popular artist, challenging the standards of the cultural landscape and the popular universe through a fusion of the two. The proposal uses the friction between elite culture and mass culture to think about the public as a collective and the social divisions that this tension can reflect.
Between biography and research, this creation leads to a questioning of other concepts that belong to the same lexical family as the word ‘popular’, such as popularity, pop, and populism. POPULAR will always end up questioning whether or not it could have been popular. — Sara Inês Gigante
On World Theater Day, Braga welcomes POPULAR, the winning project of the 6th edition of the Amélia Rey Colaço Grant, an initiative of O Espaço do Tempo, Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, A Oficina, and Teatro Viriato.
