Homeless fantasy

A Comic-Musical Trilogy

This trilogy begins at the end: "Homeless Fantasy", which gives its name to the show, "In Fucking Texas and News from the New World". In this journey, chance is provoked by an impetuous desire to achieve freedom that travels through different times and spaces. In a homeless house, a desert or a large metropolis, motivations are invented to give new meanings to life, love and fear.

Music, in its relationship with the trilogy, acts directly on the emotional appeal. It creates environments and performative games, sometimes playing a crucial role in the narrative. Marcos Magalhães arranges and conducts this small orchestra of seven musicians, based on works by Donizetti, Banchieri, Webern, Bizet and Bach.
