Chœur des amants

Two lovers repeat the litany "We've got time", as they tell their story in chorus: how they met, the seduction phase, hobbies, arguments and reconciliations. The anecdotes flow like a lyrical score, performed in unison with slight variations. One evening, the air runs out as the couple watches TV. She chokes. He is stunned. Their music goes off the rails: will they really grow old together? Tiago Rodrigues revives this minimalist duet, sixteen years after its premiere in 2007. Here, normality collides with the extraordinary and homogeneity with singularity. A polyphonic tale that explores the paths of survival after an accident of life: the springs of love are far from mechanical.
