Ο Χορός των Εραστών

A couple in the middle of the night. “I can’t breathe,” she says. “She can’t breathe,” he repeats. They rush to the car and head to the hospital. The play of the Portuguese writer and director already grabs us from the very first phrases.

Lovers’ Chorus pulls us into the heart of the relationship between two people as they step on the threshold of a life-and-death experience. And from there, into the course of their shared life, a “together forever” that stands against time and corrosion.

This is Rodrigues’ debut theatrical work, and his most autobiographical one, which he began writing in 2006 and completed in 2020.
