Memory of Matter

Is it a world or a womb?
From where we look at life, we're not sure how big or important it is.
Maria Mello Giraldes wrote with the same inspiration with which the stars shine. It thrills because it heralds the unknown, other beings and other symbols, "mirrors of stone" (as Isabel de Sá says). The show points past and future in the same direction. The memory of matter is also the matter that memory is made of.
So perhaps the Mad Sailor and the Alone Woman on stage are the same being. Stranded in a time that, in the end, doesn't exist. And on a boat that, after all, is.
