original title: Boa Noite, Veja Televisão connosco!

Good night, watch television with us!, intents to be a confrontation between the actors in location and the actors of the fiction. A debate about the reality created by the media. The performance discusses itself. It’s a performance dedicated to performance itself, self-representational, exposing itself and contemporary society. The performance invites the audience to watch television.

Tiago Rodrigues and Joaquim Horta work together in a performance that discusses the television universe in a unique way.  A couple of actors that work together in a soap opera opens the door of their home to receive the audience that will eat and watch, in their company, the soap in the television of the living room. It’s a game of mirrors that reflects the power of the television, but also the borders of the intimacy of the actor, mixing matters so distinct as sociology and melodrama.
