“Engolir Sapos” (Swallowing Toads) is an artistic reflection about prejudices and ceramic toads in the form of a play for families. In Portugal, there are 40 to 60 thousand Gypsies, a minority among the majority. In Portugal, hundreds and thousands of ceramic toads are in commercial establishments, a minority among most products on display. Toads exist to decorate. And to ward off. Gypsies.
If a toad bothers men and women of flesh and blood, a toad bothers us all.
Father and daughter will be on stage. And toads.
