Housing

Synopsis

This show portrays the housing problem in Portugal and Europe by following the stories of real people, such as people who live in tents because they can’t pay the rent, elderly people evicted from the home they’ve lived in for 30 years, families who can’t afford to rent a flat, another person sharing a house with 30 others, housing market experts, estate agents, or housing activists. It’s a documentary theatre show that seeks to understand the reasons for and solutions to the most pressing issue that Portuguese society faces today.
