THEATER
In A Vida de John Smith, Paulo, Pedro, Maria, Ana and Socrates (reincarnated in John Smith) wake up from a long sleep, in a Museum of Natural History. They are awakened by three members of the Academy: Aquela (Miguel Moreira), Aquele (Pedro Gil) and Aqueloutro (Maria Leite) who are in charge of presenting them the world that emerged from the utopia designed in A Morte de Sócrates: a community defined by the precedence of soul over body.
Memory, language, fiction, affiliation, difference and otherness, are the themes that fuel the discussion in which all have to reach a decision about the future of this new world, in danger in face of a threat without precedents.
