The Instantaneous try again to surprise and dare us with their new show Nocturnus. An original creation that intends to explore and to merge in the literary universe of Edgar Allan Poe, with the esoteric scenery of the Quinta da Regaleira from July 20th to August 18th, every Friday and Saturday at 11:59 pm.
A fun poetic incursion into the romantic environments of his literary work, which will inspire the creation of fantastic tales, completely improvised and ephemeral as the night. This show is co-produced with CulturSintra Foundation.
"All that we see or seem, is nothing more than a dream within a dream." Edgar Allan Poe.
The last days of Edgar Allan Poe's life are shrouded in mystery. After disappearing, in circumstances yet to be explained, Poe is found wandering in the street, completely out of his mind and in shock. The hours before his death were spent in mental delirium and deep madness. Even today, answers are sought about where he will have been and what he will have seen during his enigmatic absence. Nocturnus, proposes to take the audience on a dream trip, to the dark universe of the American writer and through his own eyes, finally unveil this secret. Could Poe get lost in the dark? Or was it the darkness that got lost in Poe?
