Take My Breath Away
2023 • Theater Performance | A play about collapsing Europe set in a news studio.
Take My Breath Away by Ritual de Domingo is based on a collapsing Europe. A television presenter couple engages in live broadcasts with people from different European countries, seeking answers to questions that get lost amidst the pages of institutional style guides. They themselves are on the verge of collapse, waiting for something that would make them believe in Europe.
The premiere of the performance took place on February 25, 2023, at Teatro Viriato in Viseu.
