a espera  (On Waiting) is a theatre project that brings a research on the concept of waiting.   This research is carried out from different perspectives - political,  anthropologic, philosophical  and artistic. 

Based on a personal and quotidian story - the wait for a biopsy diagnosis, through  

a espera I would like to understand waiting as a fundamental human activity. 
I want to question if we drastically reduce the waiting time, something deeply human  will be lost.
