Synopsis: What are we talking about? (Well, actually, we're not even talking...)

There's gunfire in the distance, a group of people flee with almost nothing and come across a river with no bridge. On the other bank, a hut (border? checkpoint? or watchtower?) and armed uniforms (military? militia? guards?). There's gunfire in the distance; we have to cross! On one side, a Belgian grandmother in a suitcase, dragged by her devoted Turkish son; a pregnant British woman, her Norwegian husband and their big Swedish baby.

They will have to find their own solutions; naive, peculiar, bizarre, human. On the other side of the river, two guards do their best to enforce the rules. We also meet the goodwill of a humanitarian, a seriously injured man, a lost tourist and the inevitable reporter. There is no fatality, only circumstances and opportunities, and the means they find together to take advantage of them.

On both banks of this river, they are buffoon-clowns talking to their respective grommelots. They are neither martyrs nor executioners. Just victims, without pathos, but full of hope, full of life, caught up in a situation that has been going on forever.

  • Jel – “Quem te Viu e Quem te Vê” Tour

    Jel – “Quem te Viu e Quem te Vê” Tour

    Jel – “Quem te Viu e Quem te Vê” Tour in Santiago do Cacém The stage at the António Chainho Municipal Auditorium in Santiago do Cacém will host Jel on November 30 at 9:30 p.m., as part of the “Quem te Viu e Quem te Vê” tour, his latest stand-up comedy show. The first milestone marks Jel’s 30-year career, and the second celebrates the 20th anniversary of his most iconic show, “Vai Tudo Abaixo,” which introduced characters such as Carlinhos, the Gay Macho, Ruce, the drug-addicted entrepreneur, the “Homens da Luta,” the “Revolucionários Burgueses,” the war-themed heavy metal band Kalashnikov, and Wanderley, the Brazilian who hates Portugal, among others—characters who are still often remembered by his fans today. “Quem te viu e quem te vê,” his second stand-up comedy solo show, is a performance that commemorates these two milestones, but not only that—it also evokes the changes that have taken place in the world, the changes that have taken place in Portugal, and the changes that have taken place within Jel himself, who is now a different man from the one who, 20 or 30 years ago, began taking the stage and performing his comedy, always irreverent. In this show, we’ll hear never-before-told stories about the behind-the-scenes of “Vai Tudo Abaixo” and the beginning of his career, but we’ll also learn his opinions and observations on what has changed in the world over these 30 years and, above all, in his 50 years of life.”
