Coro dos Amantes

Coro dos Amantes by Tiago Rodrigues is his first theatre piece and was premiered at Culturgest in 2007. It's a choral piece, a lyrical narrative in which a young couple tells, in two voices, the life-or-death situation they are experiencing when one of them stops being able to breathe. Simultaneously, the two actors/lovers tell us slightly different versions of the same events, celebrating the vital force of love when everything else is called into question and when we no longer know how to proceed normally. 
In 2021, Tiago Rodrigues returned to this play and added a ‘song’, and decided to write about the passage of time and what follows in the lives of lovers. To that love that defied death. 
The history of this play is long: in 2006 Tiago wrote the first part of this play for the show Urgências, at the Maria Matos Theatre; in 2007 he added two more parts for the show Duas Metades, at Culturgest. And in 2021, she wrote the last part, in a French version, premiered at the Théâtre de Lorient. 
Cláudia Gaiolas and Tónan Quito have been following the life of that couple since 2006, and with the last part written they wanted to find out what happened to them. How did they go on? Or how did they follow? As if they were questioning themselves through that couple.
