THE THREE MARIAS

We are extremely proud to announce that a former student of the Portuguese Language Center at TSU, the very talented Tamar Aznarashvili, will be performing a play based on the brilliant book "Novas Cartas Portuguesas" (1972, M. Velho da Costa, M. Teresa Horta, M. Isabel Barreno), June 29, in Porto, Portugal!

Jardim do Éden, Centro hospitalar Conde Ferreira.

Based on the book Novas Cartas Portuguesas, this performance by 3 actresses pays homage to a ground-breaking book written by 3 women writers – aka the Three Marias – in a time when the word “woman” meant also social barriers, sexual repression and symbolic silence.
In this performance, The Three Marias show that they can invent new words, new meanings, and more important than that, new roles.
The three characters are fighting with visions and voices, painful memories, sexual discovering, games, changing points and growth inside of the Hospital room.
The sounds, the video and the live music will transport us into their surreal world.
