A Missão da Missão is the third show from Aurora Negra. Revisiting The Mission, by Heiner Müller, they put on the stage a feminine, black revolution of seven women in constant cycles of hope. Recognizing the urgency of building utopias in order to build more equal realities, a rewriting of this work is proposed, based on the African liberation movements and the fundamental importance of female participation in these battles for freedom.

A Missão da Missão is a project supported by República Portuguesa - Cultura / Direção-Geral das Artes
Aurora Negra is the collective created by Cleo Diára, Isabél Zuaa and Nádia Yracema. The three of them graduated from ESTC (Lisbon School of Theatre and Cinema) and have followed a career in interpretation and creation for Theatre and Cinema, both nationally and internationally. The project was born to create a space where they could tell their stories with their own narratives, fictions, voices and bodies, celebrating their ancestry in all forms. Since 2020 they have created the shows Aurora Negra and Cosmos, and are working on their third show A Missão da Missão.
