Espectáculo de Teatro
“Espectáculo de Teatro” [A Theatre Performance] is a meta-theatre text-based project inspired by Jean Cocteau’s “The Human Voice”, and performed solo by Rogério Nuno Costa. The whole project comprises a website, a live show and a video documentary, and it followed the rules contained in the manifesto “Dogma 2005“, being the only Dogma project made by Rogério Nuno Costa so far. The letter T stands for the words Theater and Text (the major concepts of the project) and is related with all the imagery and artwork used to promote the project, as well as the documentary “T for True” (the project’s making of), which is a wordplay with Orsin Well’s movie “F for Fake” and a post-dramatic speculation on the power of fiction as reality, and conversely. The show premièred in Portugal at Circular/Festival de Artes Performativas de Vila do Conde (September 2008) and later on at Teatro Taborda (Lisbon, December 2008). Program’s statement:
