Casa Portuguesa tells the (fictional) story of a former soldier of the Colonial War who, in dialogue with his ghosts, is confronted with the decadence and transformation of the ideal of home, family, country and the canon of the father figure. A portrait of what the patriarchal family cell par excellence, the home, was, what it is and what it may (or may not) be, against the backdrop of recent events in Portuguese democracy and revisiting the most painful of the open wounds in the country's history.
From the conjugation of three materials - fado, war diary and philosophical essay - this show of the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II is born.
