About

Fake revolves around a crime fiction female writer, Norma B., author of How to Murder Your Husband. This title launched her into the limelight, not so much because of her eventual literary merits, but because Norma would later be accused of the mysterious death ... of her own husband. She is relentlessly tried in the public arena. For the world press, her work is irrefutable proof of her guilt. Her silent movements are scrutinised on all social media. A sudden close-up on the way she carries a garbage bag seems to say it all, according to his neighbours. The truth seems obvious, doesn't it? Devised by the duo Inês Barahona and Miguel Fragata (Formiga Atómica), in collaboration with the director Tiago Guedes, the show explores the tensions between information and misinformation, between individual and collective beliefs and our propensity to believe in the prejudices we carry. In Fake, the theatre dialogues with the cinema, in an attempt to differentiate between truth and lie. The camera takes on the role of a ruthless polygraph, trying to distinguish a good actor from a bad liar, in the ultimate close-up.
