What do a sailor in Vasco da Gama’s fleet, an eighteenth-century innkeeper, a vigilante pirate, a king’s fencing master, a rebellious schoolteacher, a painter who rows across the sea, a woman who writes a nation’s dictionary, and a car salesman who lived faster than all of them have in common?
They are all part of the same family: Hugo Torres’s.
Black Box is a tribute to anonymous individuals who leave their mark on the world without appearing in history books – a stage journey through personal and family memory that becomes an epic tale of identity, inheritance and the desire to build a better future.
A space where word and body invite listening and imagination, slowing time and opening a territory for emotion and collective memory.
