"These authors are always inspired by a specific reality and follow that story. So, whether or not we choose an author, a theme, or a text has a lot to do with that. The first work by Mia Couto that we adapted was a strong critique of the bureaucratic system and corruption in Mozambique. Our politicians went to see that play and laughed a lot (it was a satire) and that was a way that Mia has of talking about problems with art. Another text of his that I adapted was Flight of the Flamingos, which also addresses the theme of corruption, scandals, and crimes. We need to bring the book to life, make visible what the author wanted to say there, make it public."
