A VELHA CASA DE MADEIRA – TEATRO MONTEMURO // TEXTO E ENCENAÇÃO JOSÉ CALDAS

IN THAT HOUSE OF WOOD, DWELL A OLD … ”
One day, out of nowhere, an old man comes to us talking about reminiscing about his childhood and his great desire: to find the “time machine”.

She dissolves from her dusty skin and relives the spring of her life when she finds, hidden in her cellar, a grumpy old woman. The old woman is surprised by this event because the tranquil life came to her with the animals that surrounded her. Ignores the child because the child’s curiosity invades his quiet and isolated daily life delivered by making and remaking the threads in his spindle.

The child begins to grumble, too, and every day that the old lady comes back, she throws something away from him – a turnip, an apple, a roll of threads – the connection is made. The boy and a friend follow the path that opens at last to the door of the old wooden house …. then begins a long conversation with the old lady. Gradually she begins to tell her past, and each story is a journey in the time machine.

Every morning in the morning there were the children and every morning in the morning the grumpy old woman there waited for them. Could the grumpy old lady start to get along with the human being? Was she also reminiscing about her childhood?

One day the children arrive and find only the melody of the animals … What would have happened?
