"The prompt" or the Theatre prompter ... is what this theatrical play was about, though it went well beyond the role such almost extinct characters play (or better said ... have played) in theatrical performance. It was also Cristina's Vidal's stories, she who has been a prompt for forty years and who in Tiago Rodrigues's play was made visible and actually "played" the role of prompt, the prompt of others and of herself on stage.
" The prompt is an accomplicit partner of actors as they make their way through perfect and less perfect performing moments. The prompt knows them, adjusts herself to them and learns how to breath in their own rhythm."
As with many performances in life some intervening characters are "invisible", will always remain invisible and when given the possibility not to, will rather continue playing their "secondary" role in the overall stage scenario.
One small note on one of the actors on stage, João Pedro Vaz, whose performance I personally considered second to none.
