In this scenographic project, there are
levels that are initially inaccessible, and as the characters evolve and
gain space, they get closer to the level of the gods and at the same
time gain power. When they reach the top, the highest level, they
celebrate the city of the birds created from their ideas.
During the process, the character named Epops (a man changed into a kind
of bird) performs a special role in providing feathers to humans, which
makes it easier to climb and to overcome the earthly obstacles.
The apotheotic closing, as the whole scenery, is influenced by brazilian
Teatro de Revista, which is an ironical way to approach the political
issues of our society. It is a way to question corruption in brazilian
politics and the several CPI's (investigations) that always produce
ineffective results (an idiomatic expression used by Brazilians for this
situation is "to end in pizza"). Nothing is solved and the corrupt
politicians celebrate, just like the citizen from Athens in this play,
who got everyone else caught up with his ideas.
