Can words be dangerous?




Três dedos abaixo do joelho by Tiago Rodrigues
"At the Torre do Tombo, Portugal’s national archive, theatre maker Tiago Rodrigues found an incredibly large compilation of material related to theatre during the fascist regime that ruled the country for 48 years. Among thousands of theatre texts, Rodrigues was particularly interested in the reports written by the inspectors that forced the cuts or prohibition of performances.
The irony behind Três dedos abaixo do joelho (Three fingers below the knee) is that it transforms censors into playwrights, using the censors' reports as the text for a theatre performance that behaves like a poetic and absurd censoring-machine."
