Project selected for the 5th edition of the Amélia Rey Colaço Grants, an initiative promoted by A Oficina (Guimarães), O Espaço do Tempo (Montemor-o-Novo), Teatro Nacional D. Maria II (Lisboa) and Teatro Viriato (Viseu).

Corre, bebé! is a reflection on the conflicts of parenthood. A couple of trans individuals, set in a post-apocalyptic scenario, ponder what it might mean to bring babies into the world in such a context. Expectations, situational challenges, and insecurities are addressed poetically, outlining the fears that may arise while guiding the development of a new person in an uncertain future.

The project culminates in the screening of a short film, shot in real-time during the show.
