O Mestre (the Master) addresses the Actor's relationship with learning, updating and improvement.

It is a theatre project about the transmission of knowledge and the essential figures that this act presupposes: the one who knows and the one who does not know. It focuses on the roles that each one assumes so that the relationship can exist. And in the development of that relationship. 

In O Mestre, the protagonist is the teacher-student relationship. Learning as a rite of passage in life, the unique and privileged moment that is to learn under the eyes of the other and the fragility of this process so intimate and beautiful of those who learn.

I invited the artist Michel, currently my tap dance teacher, to research with me this (mainly) male figure of the master and to create a performance that reflects on autonomy through a learning process.
