I’ve always wanted to be stalked. Turns out, I already am. Signing that contract was supposed to give me control, masked strangers, the illusion of danger, and a fantasy I could walk away from. Except the men who answered weren’t strangers at all. They chased me through cemeteries, cornered me in libraries, and left notes on my pillow while I slept. I thought it was a game I controlled. Then the masks came off. They intercepted my contract. Hacked the website and manipulated everything to make me theirs. One of them has been watching me for months before I ever signed anything.

In König Lear inszeniert William Shakespeare ein dramatisches Familienschicksal, das bis heute zu den eindrucksvollsten Tragödien der Weltliteratur zählt. Der greise König Lear will seine Macht abgeben – und löst damit einen zerstörerischen Sturm aus. Was als Prüfung der Tochterliebe beginnt, endet in Verrat, Wahnsinn und einem erbarmungslosen Blick auf die Tiefen der menschlichen Natur. Ein zeitloses Werk über Eitelkeit, Wahrheit, Machtmissbrauch – und den schmalen Grat zwischen Klarsicht und Wahnsinn.

Rien ne sert de mourir, il faut savoir disparaître.

Il s'engouffre seul dans le monde des "évaporés", où la Veuve blanche pourrait avoir trouvé refuge.

Diários do infinito é a terceira obra de contos do escritor e dramaturgo Newton Moreno, um dos nomes mais respeitados na dramaturgia brasileira. Ópera e Cidades sensíveis são os primeiros. Os textos que habitam este livro-lar foram textos escritos durante a pandemia, sob o teto da ameaça da doença, em estado de quarentena, ao descobrirmos - todos - termos a mesma vizinha, a peste. Mas de tão caseiros, estes contos falam de uma ideia de casa, lar, família, moradas, árvores genealógicas, pertencimento, território e saudades.

They were farm animals, but their natural love for music was anything but ordinary. They met by chance, each with a rough-and-ready instrument: a tea chest Bass, a Blues harmonica, Guitar, and a Banjo. They quickly realized their destiny was to turn their rural sounds into something special. Their goal was simple: to create a Blue Grass Country Band. This is their journey. Yard Grass.
