Performed by comedian Joana Marques alongside the comic persona Bumba na Fofinha, this show mines the comic and the unsettling in equal measure. The evening unfolds as a compendium of absurd confessions: Bumba na Fofinha inaugurates a mock confession booth revealing each character’s darker impulses, while Joana Marques assumes the role of self-appointed judge, scrutinising her own past under a satirical lens. The result is a staged road-trip of fractured family tales and black humour.

He speaks about desire and homosexuality with disarming candour, balancing dark comedy and sensitivity to create a curious, intimate and slightly audacious atmosphere.
