All around a table that doubles as the stage are nine actors. Two plays concentrated in a single act, Chekhov's and Brecht's, are just like two little music scores.
Chekhov's Svad'ba - freely translated by Miguel Castro Caldas with hints of Dicionário de Linguagem de Marinha Antiga e Atual dos Comandantes Humberto Leitão e J. Vicente Lopes, quoted by Mário Cesariny in A Pena Capital - has ballrooms heard in the background but, mainly, solos heard in the foreground. Brecht's Die Kleinbürgerhochzeit presents us with a veritable polyphony - voices, glasses toasting and tasting of food - interspersed by the bride's story.
