This free adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's famous play, Terror and Misery in the Third Reich, develops from a first experience in a Professional Aptitude Test at ACE Escola de Artes, directed by Nuno Pino Custódio, in 2006. With alumni from that first version joining others from different years and/or teachers from the school - all active professional actors and actresses - a new in-depth exploration of the original idea is now being sought with this heterogeneity, in the year that marks the 50th anniversary of 25 April and on the doorstep of a Western world that is threatened by increasingly dystopian atavisms.

Apart from the profusion of meanings, connotations, metaphors, symbologies and legends surrounding the edelweiss, a flower from the daisy family - also known as the dandelion, which grows in the high mountains of Europe, mainly in the Alps - it was also the subject of a propaganda song that gave rise to the creation of this new dramaturgical version. With a strong investment in opsis and in the language of staging, seeking a total representation, this will now be a process that will live on in an endeavour marked by the compression of the numerous scenes and characters of the German playwright, in the organicity and choral dynamics of the actors, from the word to the pantomimic play of actions, from song to video.
