Love in times of Covid

The Puppet and Music Festival took place, differently, due to the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Teatro em Caixa, promoter of the event, chose to show, only in an online format, the most famous love story, written by William Shakespeare, transformed into a caricature of the classes. The play presented by the company, with the subtitle Amor em Tempos de Covid (Love in Times of Covid), is inspired by the English playwright and transforms the text into a chronicle of the times in which we live. Thus, Teatro em Caixa presents a caricature of the social divisions that Shakespeare situated in Verona in the 16th century as a warning of the harmful effects of a divided society.

Urban Pantheon is the place we consecrate to all humans.
Hermes, is the god of fertility and messenger of the gods, as well as being the guide of the souls of the dead to the realm of Hades. Persephone, in Greek mythology, is the goddess of herbs, flowers and fruit. Kidnapped to the underworld, she was rescued by her half-brother Hermes and lived half the year on Olympus, during Spring and Summer. Hades is known to have kidnapped the goddess Persephone. Cerberus was his dog who guarded the entrance to the underworld, the underground realm of the dead, letting souls in but never leaving.
The symbology of this union brings two opposite forces into together — life and death.

Art is an important tool for individuals to interpret reality and understand themselves. For this reason, contact with the most diverse artistic expressions develops characteristics such as critical thinking, sensitivity and creativity. Through different forms of making art, the individual learns to value diversity and to respect differences.
There's no right or wrong way to paint, represent, dance, or play musical notes, for example. What exists is our own way. The benefits to the emotional aspect are also many. Through art, the participants can express their feelings and impulses, solve conflicts, solve dilemmas or simply have fun in a world of fantasy and realism.
