Now Elsewhere
A man enters a cemetery to ask his dead wife for a divorce.
Now Elsewhere is a monologue that plunges into the abyss of loss, where time seems to stagnate and mourning becomes a weight impossible to carry.
After his wife's death, João finds himself under pressure to fulfill one of her last wishes: to move on.
However, he makes an extreme and unusual decision - to go to the cemetery and ask his wife for a divorce.
With writing that balances drama and acid humor, this play explores the invisible effects of mourning, the difficult reconstruction of identity after years of sharing and a love that refuses to die.
The tension between memory and the need to move on is the guiding thread of this inner journey.
Nowhere Else is not a story of overcoming. It's a desperate attempt to go on. Between laughter and hurt, João asks:
What if hating is the only way to go on?
