Os Livros do Rei

Theater play created from the book of the same name by writer David Machado.
In Os Livros do Rei, David Machado writes and Gonçalo Viana illustrates, the story of a Prince who comes to the throne after his father’s death, in an earthquake that completely destroyed the city. Passionate about literature and believing in the possibility of creating a better world – based on the wonderful images he kept from his readings – the prince decides to imagine, project and (perhaps even) rebuild his city. This is a show about reconstruction about destruction, the possibility of dreaming the impossible, architecture, about there being no impossibility in art and, about its role in the construction of tomorrow. A project that lives between literature, theater and illustration.
