​

Catalogization of Fears or the Manual for Take Off is a theatre play inspired by the book "Portugal Today - Fear of Existence" work of philosopher Jose Gil that explores phenomenon of fear and how it effects the Portuguese society and the individual.

 

The play is actually some kind of dialogue with the book and the five stories that unfold are our response and thoughts about fear, how is it created, how it grows and influences us.

 

Gil speaks about Portugal and we speak about ourselves, our inner worlds, but also our country, the former one and the current one. This is the way the dialogue is created.

Our protagonists are ordinary people and their fears are probably known to everyone:

 

Young woman who changes professions, learns new languages and travel around the world but does not realize that in this rush she is missing something more important.

 

A poet that suffers from insomnia and is trying to write the new book but he is having problems with inspiration that both slips away  and attacks him.

 

A police officer whose dreams begin to be hunted by Portuguese poet Pesos who leads him to open up a strange investigation through the world of poetry.

 

Successful business woman who enjoys  sliding trough her responsibilities and her planner  but this planner actually stands in her way of feeling joy, freedom and love.

 

A young woman artist or who wonders does she actually still have the body or she became the sofa that she lays on trying to figure out ways to make a movie about the woman who in spite of the conservative and severe rules of her community byes a swimming suit and learns how to swim.

 

The text was created through the process of research workshops that where devised to explore the hidden worlds of wishes, obstacles and fears. The participants in the workshops where the member of the artistic team, students of Philological Faculty in Belgrade, students of Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portuguese theatre company Teatro O Bando, people from the local communities Lisbon and Palmela and the actors that take part in the play.
