The symbolism of the giant Adamastor, created by Sidónio Apolinário and famous by Camões in "Os Lusíadas", is the starting point for Ricardo Ambrozio's new creation. In this work the Adamastor is representative of the individual fight of each performer who is confronted with the fears and doubts. As each performer fights their own battle the audience are invited to immerse themselves in the stories of resistance, overcoming challenges and accepting change as the work encourages us to change the course of the ship we sail each day. The work is intended as a reflection on today's younger generations approaching topics of resilience and choice.
