A 15-minute standing ovation for a life spent chasing applause — now the curtain won't rise again.
"ÉVORA" follows the story of António Évora, an actor retired due to a health condition. The longing and permanent absence from the stage brings with it a reflection on the times when he was young, the joy of applause and what is to come.
