This will be, says Teatro das Figuras, «an opportunity to rediscover the Algarve, its people and cultural heritage. An audiovisual journey that will transport you to a past that prides and elevates, bringing to light ancestral memories dressed in modernity».

«In the village where they live there is the strange and mysterious Doctor Coppelius, an inventor who goes mad with the death of his daughter. He ends up building a ballerina doll, which he calls Coppélia, which he puts in the window every day. When Franz sees her, he is completely in love and thinks only of meeting the new girl in the village. Swanilda decides to enter Dr. Coppelius' house to find out what is going on in that mysterious house and who is the young woman who stole her beloved's heart», describes the Faro cultural space.
“Swanilda, pretends to be the doll to try to win back Franz's love. Chaos sets in, but is soon forgiven. Swanilda and Franz reconcile and marry, in a lively party, with various festive dances», he concludes.
