One of Heiner Müller’s most celebrated plays, The Mission is a text about revolt and revolution. About the legitimacy to take power, and the rein of events in a society. The play will be Teatro da Cidade’s return to the repertory text, and comes after a process of choice in which Teatro Viriato’s audience was involved.
