Summary

Concrete Utopia (Utopia Concreta) is an invitation to take a philosophical stroll along an old path up O Bando's mountainside, once inhabited by works by artists from various countries, later by stage machinery and destroyed by the Palmela fire in 2022. It's an individual journey in search of the principle of hope, in which the audience follows in the footsteps of the German philosopher Erns Bloch and the 50-year history of Teatro O Bando. Along the way, we pass through various stations with installations, projections, interviews and impromptu meetings. A tour where we have time to daydream and find the not-yet. An Augmented Theatre Walk with the artistic direction of Dirk Neldner, guided by the voices of Raul Atalaia, Marta Barahona, Sara Belo and Nicolas Brites Created by Teatro O Bando and co-produced with the University of York, Ernst Busch Theater Academy and Kolibri Theater, with the support of Landesbühnen Sachsen.
