Baleizão, the value of memory
Theater & dance
"I can't remember when 'Baleizão' pricing first appeared in my house but I remember very well my mother using it whenever I wanted something my parents couldn't afford. She would tell me: You know what, I can't afford that because it costs a lot of 'Baleizão'. Sometimes, when I insisted, she would tell me how much 'Baleizão': 5, 10, 20 or 30 – it depended. 'Baleizão', which my mother used to value impossible things, was an icecream, from a bar of the same name, in the city where I lived, Luanda in Angola. It cost 2.50 escudos!"
A trip down memory lane, celebrating the lives of two friends, through the exchange of letters, texts, drawings and photos of their childhoods, lived about 50 years ago. Words, images, music and dance bring out this value and depict the things you cannot put a price on in our lives.
