The year is 1996. Take That tops the hit lists and Roy Keane has taken Man U to double gold in England. In Cork, Ireland, Sinn Fein's local division arranges karaoke night and two teenagers are out on an adventure. Porco and Pulga were born the same day, the same time, at the same hospital, and today they are 17 years old. Ever since birth they have been like brother and sister, in their own universe, with their own language. It has been the two of them against the rest of the world in this godforsaken town – but now something is about to change.
Time Out Lisbon labelled Disco Pigs by Enda Walsh the best show in Lisbon.

Time Out Lisbon:
"Franzisca Aarflot has created a moving and brutal staging of this existential drama for youth through focusing on the love story. The interpretations of Henriques and Carraca are energetic and inspired, flawless."
