In Quarta-Feira: O tempo das cerejas, the third episode of the Sete Anos Sete Peças cycle, Cláudia Dias shares the stage with Igor Gandra, artistic director of the Teatro de Ferro. The set is a huge hole in the middle of laminated plasterboard, as if a giant iron ball had fallen there. By building the scenic space with the same material used in thousands of Portuguese houses, to begin to deconstruct, Cláudia Dias and Igor Gandra make a direct connection to everything that is swept under the western carpet. Although aerial bombardments by European military forces are now easily visible on the Internet or on TV, the connection between our homes and craters opened by missiles elsewhere in the world is not so visible. This black hole alludes to this causal relationship by enlightening it. It’s not just a question of showing the responsibility of European social democracies in the massacres that are now taking place in the rest of the world. The black eye in the middle of the floor is a negative sign image that reveals what is to be done.
