The work is about everything it doesn’t portray: the relationship between an obsessive mother and her daughter, whose health condition is a mystery. The two women live in a house, far from the nearest city, where they are visited by a friend and four different men. Every one of them try to respond to the women’s needs. Oslo is about what eludes the portrait: an attempt at a life without loss. After Boris Yeltsin, co-produced by Colectivo 84, Cão Danado and São Luiz Teatro Municipal (2012), and performed at Teatro Nacional São João and Teatro Académico de Gil Vicente, Oslo – fuck them all and everything will be wonderful is Mickael de Oliveira and Nuno M Cardoso’s second joint project. Oslo is a rewriting of O que é teu entregou aos mortais, which won the Maria Matos New Dramaturgy Prize in 2006.
