A man lies dying, his chance to live on
is in the hands of not Fate but Five Facets of Love.

All dressed in the deepest dark red the
loves must decide whether he lives longer or dies, his death will
be signified by the tolling of the bell. Through incantation,
song, speeches in defense of life from his lover and against life
from her mother.
Although the differing forms of love are
often gathered together to decide the fate of some human it is
less and less often that Amor Verdadeiro is called for and she
submits to feeling weaker and weaker. Amor Contaminado however is
called several times daily!
Performed in English and Portuguese this
enchanting production with its international cast is very
enjoyable and has many twists and turns to keep you focused in the
story. The movement
is graceful and somewhat ethereal and the singing beautiful.
Whether the man lives or dies I will not
say as the outcome is to be seen only by watching the show.
