The rigour is reflected in our procedures, in time and in the rules to follow. In the light of moral and principles, being severe means being rigorous.

It is a value that we must highlight as opposed to the fearful, cowardly and laziness.
The courage to react to criticism not with an attitude of demotivation or sadness, but rather to search for the means and the action to overcome its own reason. This kind of courage, which is also an intellectual courage, is highly recommended.

Responsibility. (from the lat respondere) n. the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one's conduct; a form of trustworthiness.

We must be certain that, before a choice, we chose what is best for both of us and not just the best for each one. Each employee is responsible for his negotiated activity and co-responsible if the co-worker does not fulfil his own task, thus preventing the common goal. A team is a set of individuals - is a whole. In the business game, as in social or family contexts, everyone must comply with their own relative position and we shall not permit that one of ours fails to be in our team.

The play 'A Língua em Pedaços’ (Tongue in Pieces) was the theme for a talk on spirituality

Correio do Minho

Director Juan Mayorga and Ignácio García spoke about 'Work and Spirituality in Creation' in a meeting promoted by dstgroup and Braga Theatre Company. The play can be seen until Wednesday at the Tibães Monastery.

'Work and Spirituality in Creation' was the theme of the meeting that brought together, yesterday afternoon, at the Memorial to Child Labour in the dstgroup complex, the director Juan Mayorga, and the director of the International Classical Theatre Festival of Almagro (Spain), Ignácio García.

Moderated by João Duque, from the Catholic University, the meeting was organised by the 'dstgroup' and by the Braga Theatre Company and had as its central theme the show 'A Língua em Pedaços' (Tongue in Pieces), by Juan Mayorga.

At the welcome session, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the 'dstgroup', José Teixeira, explained that the show is being staged in Tibães and that it is not just a theatrical play. “‘A Língua em Pedaços’ it's much more than a show, it's a spiritual experience, in the sense of our inner beauty, our silence. It is not traditional theatre because the spectators are part of the show. It is a U-shaped table in a convent kitchen. It is of absolute purity", indicated the 'dstgroup' responsible, encouraging those present to watch the show.

Juan Mayorga was impressed by the venue of the meeting (the Child Labour Memorial), stressing that it was "a place of memory" that could "serve as a warning for the future". Talking about the link between the play and spirituality, the Spanish director pointed out that the character in the play, Teresa of Avila, reveals that "there is an intimate place where our freedom resides and that is the place of the spirit. A place where everyone is alone with themselves."

Juan Mayorga also explained that the play is called 'A Língua em Pedaços' (Tongue in Pieces) because of "the double meaning of the tongue, a physical organ with which we communicate. It has to do with the materiality of language".

Ignacio García stressed that Juan Mayorga "dares to speak of the spirit, of freedom" and that in the play ' Língua em Pedaços ('The Tongue in Pieces') the spirit can have two versions. "In the play, we are always perceiving two opposite visions. Sometimes what is a disorder is called spirit. These two ideas are completely opposed, where the spirit is the centre of the good, and where the spirit is the beginning of all the problems, of all the complications," Ignacio García indicated.

The play centres on the confrontation between the Carmelite nun Teresa d'Avila and the Inquisitor, two characters with distinct theological perceptions. Teresa is accused of profanation, due to her visions and raptures, while the Inquisitor is seen as a man of acute mind, a scavenger of heretics, and a representative of ecclesiastical power. The show is presented by the Braga Theatre Company in the kitchen of the Tibães Monastery until next Wednesday (22nd).
