Crocodile Club
After “Technical Rehearsal” (2023), “Crocodile Club” is the new creation by Teatro Oficina, written and directed by Mickaël de Oliveira, produced by Teatro Oficina and Colectivo 84.
“Crocodile Club” is a show that seeks to address the new Portuguese political spectrum and its recent radicalization to the right, following the global trend of the rise of the far right and new populisms that aim to manipulate dissatisfaction and incite fear. “Crocodile Club” is about the limits of democracy, stemming from a weekend retreat among friends. The play calls for a revision of imaginations inherent in the tradition of horror cinema, following the path of “Festa de 15 Anos” (TNSJ, 2020).
