Luanda - After approximately a month of its debut, the play 'They don't live without women' returned, Sunday, to the Belas Conference Center, in Luanda, for its second edition, in an initiative by the production company “Mentes Fabulosas”.
Created by Vanda Pedro, this return is the management's response to the numerous requests from the public present in the first edition, for the continuation of the play.
'They don't live without women' is a theatrical comedy that reflects on machismo and the evolution of the roles of men and women in Angolan society.
With the room full again, the comedy executive produced by Neide Van-Dúnem led the audience to discover, with humor, the male version of major issues of women's day-to-day life versus machismo, women's empowerment versus the role of provider that weighs socially on men, masculine feelings and emotions versus the hardness and coldness that are required of them.
The work portrays the story of Marcos, a womanizer who sees his life radically transform when he falls in love with Ana.
Five years later, the relationship comes to an end, leaving Marcos disoriented and, with no desire to live, he tries to end his life, goes into depression and decides to take revenge on the women.
Artist Kayaya Júnior said that the examples in the piece apply to both genders and are real situations.
Actor José Inácio said that they are negotiating so that the play can be shown in other provinces of Angola and in other Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOPs), an intention conditioned by financial sponsorship.
He valued exchanging experiences with his colleagues on stage.
Actor Wine Braúlio reported being satisfied with the audience's adherence, who are embracing the theater again, and for fulfilling their duty to entertain.
For him, the presence of the public expresses satisfaction with the content that reports on various topics in society.
Speaking to ANGOP, Mauro Patrício said it was exciting to see the play again, as it addresses several social issues, such as respect for people and differences.
He said that the play also draws attention to domestic violence, evasion of fatherhood, abandonment of home, disrespect for women within the home, among other situations.
Present at the event, Nelson Vatilene explained that he took several messages from the play, which presents great quality in terms of production and representation.
He praised the way the actors caught the attention of those present in terms of behavior at home, responsibility and submission. SJ/OHA/DOJ
