". . . the theatrical performance Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists, an award-winning play by Tiago Rodrigues. It will reach the stage of the Nicosia Municipal Theatre this week, on Tuesday and Wednesday.
(. . .)
The play tells the story of a family in southern Portugal which has a paradoxical tradition – once a year, they abandon their normal lives to kill a fascist. Rodrigues’ production deals with heavy political issues such as the best means in a democracy to deal with the fascist forces currently on the rise.
It questions whether it is morally acceptable to ‘do evil in order to do good’, which is the motto of the family and whether there is a place for violence in the struggle for a better world. Can we break the rules of democracy when we seek better ways to defend it?' asks Rodrigues.
All these could easily turn into caricatures, yet Rodrigues refuses to give the audience an easy way out of these moral dilemmas and certainly does not shy away from showing us what he means by fascism."
