Performing Memory: Amores Pós-Coloniais [Post-colonial Love] by Hotel Europa
Resumo
This performance constructed a series of relationships between the two terms in its title. It acknowledged explicitly that postcolonial love might be an impossibility given the violence and oppression that have characterised Portuguese colonial history. It was centred on interviews with white soldiers during the colonial war who formed relationships with black women in those colonies that were criss-crossed by personal and political tensions. It also included more personal stories from the generation that grew up after the colonial war that illustrated the continuing legacy of racism in contemporary Portugal.
