Foursight Theatre and Portuguese company Teatro do Montemuro’s new show Pertencia tours the UK in March following a national tour of Portugal.
Pertencia is a wetnurse. She works for The Butcher. For his is no ordinary shop and he is no ordinary butcher.
Actors from the two companies portray a host of vivid characters, mixing a fusion of portuguese, english, live music, song and physical imagery.
Lyrical and grotesque, poignant and funny, this extraordinary production moves between the real and fantastical as Pertencia uncovers the reality of The Butcher’s business and the dark revelation of her past.
