Paloma. Roberta.
Roberta. Paloma.
Is she the same person, the same character or a refined version from both?
Paloma wants to talk about her mom. Paloma wants to talk about SEF.
Paloma wants to talk about going to castings.
Paloma wants to talk about being naked. Paloma wants to die.
Paloma comes up on stage to tell stories – true or false –about the Brazilian actress Roberta that “suffers” from glitter abstinence since she left Rio de Janeiro to come to Lisbon.
Or is it Roberta that is telling Paloma’s stories?
Paloma plays with her own memories, going back and forth, trying to find her way back to herself. Whether it’s fiction or/and reality, the audience is invited to find the truth behind the words.
