Questions answered by Maria Teixeira de Barros.
Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars
Sit on the bus next to a stranger. Talk about the weather, listen to their life story, share hopes, heartbreaks and dreams. When their stop is coming, super quickly take a flyer out of my bag and say in the chillest way I can why I think they would love our show.
Q2: If your show suddenly developed a massive ego and became the biggest diva in the 2026 Fringe, what absurd, hyper-specific item would be mandatory on its dressing room rider?
A wardrobe filled with the most vintage items from 60s fashion in Portugal. We want those azulejo and floral patterns, denim flare jeans, Viana scarves and blouses with beautiful crazy collars.
Q3: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?
Smoking and plotting the next revolution. At the end of the party it will absolutely get laid.
Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?
They’ll wake up full of energy, ready for anything. All of a sudden they’ll know how to speak Portuguese, which will make everyone around them confused. And that’s when it hits them: The Three Marias! Que história incrível.
