Synopsis

This drama by Horatius, with Rui Henriques’s adaptation for 2 actors, focuses on the character of the poet (Rui Monteiro) and on an annoying dull figure (Rui Henriques), who unfolds in several other personalities of ancient Rome. The play, designed to fit a quick adaptation to small spaces, where it is possible to interact closely with the audience, lives of Rui Henriques’s great capacity to metamorphose into different personalities, supported by a suggestive musical selection.
