AMINA, the second creation in the creation cycle My Father's Collection, is a play designed and built for the stage, which will premiere at the Seixal Cultural Forum in November 2025 and begins with a reading of Manuel da Fonseca's Cerromaior.
Cerromaior, the name of an imaginary Alentejo village, written in 1943, broke with the canons of traditional narrative through clear writing that brought issues of inequality and oppression into the literary context.
Like Cerromaior, AMINA is an imaginary city in a concrete territory - the southern edge of the Lisbon metropolitan area. To work from this book is to look at inequality in the present, and to think of a city made up of people who are increasingly diverse, but who share a common denominator - the oppression of the capitalist system in its long aftermath.
