THEATER
Guardar Segredo is a series of theatre plays staged inside a wardrobe placed in a public space. Over a five hour period, sixty shows will be performed for sixty different spectators. One spectator, one actor, five minutes - this is what company Amarelo Silvestre proposes to the audience.
Each showing is seen by only one person, the right number for the space available inside the wardrobe. In the following sessions everything changes, the story as well as the person watching.
What happens inside must not be known by anyone else. Inside this closet stories are told, as if whispered into someone's ear, in a place of contemplation, isolated from the outside world; a place of privilege, because only one person gets to hear that story; a place of courage, needed to confront the actor face-to-face.
