An adaptation of the short story “A Menina do Mar”, in a musical theater genre, takes to the stage of the Cine-Teatro Louletano on the 17th and 18th of November.
Five actors and nine musicians will walk through «the story of friendship between a boy who lives on land and a girl who lives at sea, and the curiosity they both have about the other's world», says Câmara de Loulé.
“A Menina do Mar” is Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen's first short story for childhood and also one of her most read works. It is one of Sophia's most beloved titles that turns into a musical tale, with actors and musicians walking through the story of a girl who lives at sea – curious about life on land –, a boy who lives on land – curious about life on land. sea – and the unlikely encounter between these two worlds.
«This fantasy will not lack a clarinetist fish, a suspicious saxophonist crab, a mysterious bassoonist octopus and so many other fantastic beings, gathered under the serious gaze of the double bass player, the King of the Sea. The question arises: will it be possible to arrive at a agreement so that it is possible to live in harmony?”, says the municipality.
