Wednesday

"The Bear"


Last Wednesday, November 25th, Cidenai students went to Clube Thyrsense to watch a group of talented actors perform Anton Tchekov’s masterpiece “The Bear”. It’s a funny and moving story about love, loss and the awakening for romance after a tragic death. Throughout the play, we could also hear the homage paid to Luís de Camões, our greatest poet, whose sonnets about love complimented Tchekov’s words brilliantly. It was brilliantly executed by the Grupo de Teatro Amador de Santo Tirso, who is also rehearsing other Tchekov’s plays in a cicle dedicated to the Russian playwright. With the intimate setting of our art nouveau club as the perfect plateau for a 19th century story, our students had the opportunity of speaking to the cast at the end of the play and of learning a little more about the secrets of the trade, and were also invited to take part in an open-training session for wannabe actors.
It was a great afternoon for us all, and we were all inspired to take up acting!
