Fashion
Luís Carvalho was the Designer invited by Pedro Penim, artistic director of the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, to design the costumes for the play “Quis Saber Quem Sou – Um Concerto Teatral”, which premiered on April 20 at the São Luíz Teatro Municipal, in Lisbon, and will be on stage until November, in several cities across the country.
Proud of the result of his debut in creating theater costumes, Luís Carvalho explains that the creative process was long and demanding, but the final image was what he imagined and reflects not only the director’s vision, but also his creativity and identity as a Designer. “I always wanted to participate in a project like this, and when I received the invitation, I accepted without hesitation. At first, I felt nervous, a play of this importance brings with it a great responsibility. The end result reflects exactly the vision I envisioned. I thank the entire team involved, the incredible actors and especially the wardrobe team, for making my work come true.”
“Quis Saber Quem Sou” aims to revisit the songs of the 25th of April, the slogans, the songs that were weapons, but also the personal stories of the generations that made the revolution, bringing to the stage young actors, singers, instrumentalists between 16 and 25 years old, chosen in a national audition, and placing in their voices and bodies today, and in the future, the memory of the words of freedom.
With conception, text and direction by Pedro Penim, “Quis saber Quem Sou” will be on stage at Teatro Aveirense (Aveiro, 24th and 25th May), Teatro Nacional São João (Porto, 31st May and 1st June), Cine Teatro Louletano (Loulé, 7th and 8th June), Festival Bons Sons (Tomar, 8th August) and Convento São Francisco (Coimbra, 15th and 16th November).
