original title: A PARTIR DE AMANHÃ
“Starting tomorrow” tells the story of a woman that invents her agenda starting from the day she’s talking to the audience. In this performance, the practical and desolate space of the agenda becomes hopeful, dreamy, emotional and frustrating. While imagining her future agenda, this woman portrays herself and the person she would like to become but knows she never will. Reaching absolute happiness is the appointment scheduled for Tuesday at 10 am but at 2 pm she still must fill the tax form. “Starting tomorrow” is a performance created and performed by Cláudia Gaiolas, from an original text by Tiago Rodrigues, written in collaboration with the actress. It has been performed both in theatre stages as well as in cafes, galleries and other small venues.
