This performance explores how humor can be a powerful tool for navigating personal struggles and making sense of life’s challenges.
Drawing from personal experiences - an ongoing struggle with feelings of success and failure - i retell my stories, transforming them into moments of laughter and reflection by seeking out their humorous perspective.
It is a series of tiny revolutions with the aim to inspire others, through the use of humor, to reflect on how things always depend on a point of view.

More about the
narrative
In a day in the studio, Inês - myself played by myself, because really, who else could do a worse or better job at being me? - arrives at her desk to rehearse what she believes is her finished master’s project: a funny play about success and failure, inspired by her own life.
But there’s a catch. As the rehearsal unfolds, she’s forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: could it be that her play about failure… is itself a failure?
Determined to see it through, Inês continues, facing her own work head-on. Failure becomes unavoidable - but also strangely funny.
From not-award-winning writer and performer, A Day in the Studio explores the pressure for constant success, the inevitability of mistakes, and how humour can offer us the perspective to carry on.
