An intoxicating evening of music, poetry, and chocolate... in pre-conquest Mexico!
Based on a fifteenth-century dialogue among nobles schooled in rhetoric and philosophy, the play pits father against son in a war of words over the power and beauty of artistic expression.

o pesadelo do cotovelo

o pesadelo
           do cotovelo
é se quebrar:
coto o braço alheio,
mas o antebraço velo

o pesadelo
                 do tornozelo
é se quebrar:
torno a pisar com o pé
mas o peso da perna zelo

posso cotar, e coto
posso velar, e velo
posso tornar, e torno
posso zelar, e zelo

mas dai o pesadelo
cotado e zelado
em sonho tornado
dá para andar em pêlo
de corpo desvelado

de cada articulação
o significado
exposto, quebrado
só para ser
rearticulado
