All families have their traditions—this one kills fascists.The illustrious playwright and director Tiago Rodrigues, Artistic Director of the Festival d’Avignon, returns to BAM after 2021’s joyous By Heart with a courageous, compelling work with a jaw-dropping premise. For over 70 years, one Portuguese family has convened in a country house to take the life of a fascist, passing down their custom from generation to generation. But the latest Catarina, among the clan’s youngest members, has misgivings, prompting a fiery family drama that poses urgent questions: Can the rules of democracy be violated in order to defend it? Does violence have a place in the creation of a more equitable society? Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists is a penetrating, poetic, and compassionate work about sacrifices made in the name of a better world.
In Portuguese with English subtitles.
