Gregório Duvivier does not see the Portuguese language merely as a homeland, but as an obsession. Or, as young people would say, a hyperfocus. After all, words have been an inexhaustible source of humor since the very beginning. The show blends stand-up comedy with spoken poetry and a dramaturgy that weaves everything together. Stand-up poetry? Linguistic comedy? Call it what you like. Gregório prefers: Poetic Comedy. Directed by actress Luciana Paes, Gregório explores the power of speech and reminds us that human beings are nothing more than talking monkeys — and all other differences stem from that. A breakthrough hit seen by over 200,000 spectators now arrives in London for an exciting journey through words and the power of language. *Islington Assembly Hall has launched 'Support the Supports' a campaign to help introduce more music lovers to the up-and-coming acts that open the show!
