After winning over critics and audiences in Brazil, ‘Dead Point’text by Hélio Sussekind directed by Camilo Bevilacqua, premieres this week at Teatro Ibérico, in Lisbon. The new production brings together a cast linked to the Portuguese-speaking universe and presents a renewed reading of the work, centered on the relationship between a father and a son on a journey.
The show runs from December 11th to 21st, with sessions from Thursday to Saturday, at 9pm, and Sundays at 5pm. On stage, Daniel Martinho plays Humpty, while Guinean Danilo da Mata takes on the role of Dumpty. The duo leads the narrative marked by silences, repetitions and gestures that reveal an affection that is sometimes tender, sometimes exhausted, in a kind of contemporary fable.

The montage is born from the artistic encounter between Brazil, Africa and Portugal, in a proposal that explores everyday life as a territory of delirium and lucidity. Martinho, a well-known name in theater, cinema and television in Portugal, promises an interpretation of emotional intensity. Da Mata brings his son’s innocence and disarmingness to the stage, composing a dialogue that functions as a mirror of the human condition itself.
Directed by Bevilacqua, Dead Center transforms a walk through the forest into a metaphor for the limit of love and for the moment when he no longer knows what to do with himself. The show combines humor, absurdity, tenderness and discomfort, in an environment where the invisible takes shape before the public.
