Fértil Cultural will be at TMJB on October 18th and 19th, Saturday at 4 pm, and Sunday at 11 am, with a show that seeks to answer children’s first questions: Cordão, with a text by Neusa Fangueiro and Regina Guimarães, directed by Isabel de Barros.
How do babies end up in the womb? What is this string attached to the baby? What is it called? Does it help the baby hold on? And me, how was I born? These and other questions are part of a child’s curiosity. A seed that grows and transforms. A heart that beats. Two arms that embrace the world. Two eyes that open and a song that can be heard. It is the cord of life, the cord that tells your story and ours, and that accumulates stories from other lives. This cord has no end. Cordão is a theatrical composition for early childhood, which combines acting with the manipulation of objects and puppets, interpolated with live music and sound effects. It’s a sensorial and experimental show, allowing for an organic feel that captivates the audience and transports them to imaginary places. This creation stemmed from the curiosity of a group of kindergarten children, ages 3 to 6, about birth: “Who is my brother/sister? How will my cousin be born? How do they fit in their mother’s belly? And me, how was I born?” These and other questions are part of a child’s curiosity at this age, and the wonder of small explanations about birth is memorable.
