The novel "Winds of Apocalypse" by writer Paulina Chiziane has been adapted for the stage and is being presented at the Polytechnic University of Lisbon, in Portugal, since July 7 and will be until July 29.

The play is co-produced by Teatro Griot and Companhia Artistas Unidos, and directed by Noé João. He considers the play to be an exercise in "memory and war played by four characters in search of the promised land".

The work arose from a challenge from the Angolan actor Daniel Martinho, in which he proposed working on texts by African writers. It was in the text by the Mozambican writer that he found the odyssey of men and women who, in order to escape war, set off in search of peace.

The work is set against the backdrop of the war in Mozambique and deals with concepts such as destruction, misery, suffering, hatred, superstition and death.
