The thoughts of a prisoner who was isolated from any form of contact with the world, who ends up doubting the reality of what he is living. A text that is both a dramatic account and a work of great poetics.

«How to deliver this text by Breytenbach? How to manifest the poetics carried by the book? What kind of dramatic reality can be contructed? Exclamative (tragedy)? Narrative? Affirmative? The question of Theatre as Art has always been about finding the fair means to say and translate what we live: what takes place can’t be told with our daily language – it’s necessary to find other word modalities to tell what happens to us collectively. This is the fundamental reason for choosing ‘The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist’ by Breyten Breytenbach.»
