The popular actor and presenter Fernando Mendes brings to the Municipal Auditorium of Olhão, on October 26, at 21 pm, the theater play «Insónia», where he performs solo, but promises everything but monotony.
In a show where serious things are said while joking, Fernando Mendes plays Custódio Reis, a wine and fortified seller who lives with the rope around the neck, both financially and family.
It is the common middle-class Portuguese, who lives drowned in debts and credits, without great intellectual depth or philosophical theses. On the other hand, he's out of the woods, has a sales pitch and is on the verge of divorce.
One night, Custodio, who was always too lazy to think too much about his life, stopped to think and, unlike spending the night snoring, as is his habit, he couldn't sleep. You have a terrible insomnia.
An insomnia where you will question everything in your life and try to find solutions. But while most of his problems have obvious solutions, for a man who's been like that all his life, change doesn't seem easy.
We then witness a hilarious inner crisis that Custódio will go through, in an attempt to reach the peace of soul necessary for him to be able to sleep again.
Through this Insomnia, we watch some television programs, which Custódio watches to “see if sleep is called”, where Fernando Mendes stars in very unlikely moments with some of his lifelong friends and colleagues.
