Tiago Rodrigues and the future in "La Distance": "There is a credible scientific prediction that the world will be a nightmare in 50 years"

Expresso3 September 2026 at 22:57

Tiago Rodrigues presents in Lisbon and Guimarães the play "La Distance," a realistic dystopia that explores communication problems between a father and daughter in a distant future. The play is staged as part of a cultural program that covers the two Portuguese cities.

The action takes place in the year 2077, establishing a futuristic setting where family dynamics and communication challenges manifest in a particularly intense way. The play addresses themes that transcend traditional science fiction to touch on contemporary questions about human relationships.

Tiago Rodrigues justifies the choice of theme with an alarmist perspective on the future of humanity. According to the director, there is a credible scientific prediction that the world could be a nightmare in 50 years, which underpins the dark atmosphere and dystopian vision presented in the work.

"La Distance" thus emerges as a reflection on the possible deterioration of human relationships and communication abilities between generations, using the theatrical format to project current anxieties onto a distant temporal horizon.
