Eastern Loves (Amores de Leste) travels between Africa, Portugal and Eastern Europe through the stories of people who lived on the other side of the Iron Curtain while they fought for the end of the Portuguese dictatorship and colonialism. What impact did this time spent under Communist regimes in Eastern Europe have on their lives? Some left the party after that experience, others maintained their militancy. Some fell in love and started a family on the other side of the Curtain; other families fell apart when the Eastern Bloc collapsed in 1989.
Based on testimonies gathered and on the performers’ own personal stories – from Angola, Cape Verde, Czech Republic, Germany, Mozambique and Portugal –, this show questions the relationships between love, family and politics.

Biografia
Hotel Europa é uma companhia de teatro que, através de um olhar documental, explora as fronteiras entre o teatro, a dança e a performance. A componente documental é expressa comumente pela recolha de testemunhos, de narrativas familiares, de pesquisa historiográfica e de material autobiográfico. A companhia criada por André Amálio e Tereza Havlíčková já apresentou trabalho em Portugal, Brasil, França, Alemanha, Espanha, República Checa e Eslovénia. As temáticas são principalmente direcionadas para o passado ligado ao fascismo e colonialismo, assim como, no que diz respeito à atualidade, para os temas da migração, do ambiente e da gentrificação. A companhia já apresentou em 2019, na Culturgest, o teatro performance O fim do colonialismo português e, também no mesmo ano, Os filhos do colonialismo português.
