In „No Yogurt for the Dead”, Tiago Rodrigues takes inspiration from a true story about his father. Rogério Rodrigues, a respected Portuguese journalist, started writing a newspaper article in his final days in the hospital. Every day, his father would write in his notebook to prepare this text about his experiences as a terminal patient. Both Tiago and his father knew this would be his final article.

Upon his father’s passing, Tiago Rodrigues opened the notebook of his father. It contained only a few lines and dots, a few scribbles, like the abstract drawings of a toddler. Now, Rodrigues aims to imagine the unwritten pages of his father's last work. Mixing memories, songs or fragments of his father’s writings, Rodrigues builds a performance that wishes to be a small victory over death.

In this performance, each scene is a playful variation on the theme of farewell, while finding reasons for joy even in the saddest of stories.
