Chegado a uma colónia penal numa ilha sem nome, um visitante depara-se com um complexo engenho de execuções pronto a funcionar sobre um condenado anónimo. A zelar pela máquina impiedosa encontra-se um oficial, única pessoa que compreende o seu funcionamento e acredita na sua razão de ser.

A partir do conto homónimo de Franz Kafka, adaptado por Rudy Wurlitzer e com música de Philip Glass, Na Colónia Penal é uma reflexão intensa sobre a frágil dualidade da razão humana, onde a fronteira ténue entre a justiça e a injustiça é explorada e atravessada com mestria narrativa.

Na Colónia Penal é um clássico moderno que se dá a ouvir pela primeira vez em Portugal, com encenação de Miguel Loureiro, direção musical de Martim Sousa Tavares e movimento de Miguel Pereira.

Arriving at a penal colony on an unnamed island, a visitor is faced with a complex execution device ready to operate on an anonymous convict. Watching over the pitiless machine is an officer, the only person who understands how it works and believes in its raison d'être.

Based on the homonymous story by Franz Kafka, adapted by Rudy Wurlitzer and with music by Philip Glass, In the Penal Colony is an intense reflection on the fragile duality of human reason, where the tenuous border between justice and injustice is explored and crossed with narrative mastery.

Na Colónia Penal is a modern classic that is being heard for the first time in Portugal, staged by Miguel Loureiro, musical direction by Martim Sousa Tavares and movement by Miguel Pereira.

In the Penal Colony by Glass, Fri 17 Mar 2023, From (2023/2023), Directed by Miguel Loureiro,, Conductor Martim Sousa Tavares, São Luiz Teatro Municipal, Lisbon, Portugal
