The program starts this Saturday, October 8, with the play “O donkey stubborn”, which the Bonecos de Almar Company takes to the stage of the Small Auditorium from 16:00, in a session for families.
The play is part of the traditional repertoire of Teatro Dom Roberto, or Teatro de Robertos, a traditional Portuguese form of puppet theater whose origins date back to the XNUMXth century.
Traditionally presented at fairs, pilgrimages and streets, this theatrical expression is characterized by small wooden and rag dolls that bring to life simple stories of Portuguese reality, marked by the strident sound of the pick placed in the puppeteer's mouth and the inevitable scene of a beating.

Finally, on the 14th and 15th of October, Vicenteatro – Associação de Animação Cultural will star in the Grand Auditorium in the play “Thirty thousand reis and a load of hams”, which results from a reflection on the stories of Fajão, a village in the municipality of Pampilhosa da Serra.
«The dramatized texts, whose origin is lost in time, are of great historical, ethnographic and anthropological wealth and have reached our days through orality, giving rise to collections, university reflections and various artistic works», explains the municipality of Portimonense.
