❗Change to the July EmCena performance

Please be advised that the July performance of the EmCena series, as announced in the “Sines em Agenda” publication, has been changed due to the illness of a member of the Teatro dos Aloés team.

Therefore, instead of “My Sweet Orange Tree,” Teatro dos Aloés will present the play “A Camaleoa” at the Sines Arts Center on July 9 at 9:30 p.m.

Directed by Elsa Valentim, this new production by the company features a script by Carolina Campanela that explores power dynamics through the daily life of a theater troupe.

Synopsis: “César decides to stage *Julius Caesar*. But, just as in the Roman Republic, power corrodes relationships here as well. As rehearsals progress, discontent blossoms: actors who want to be more than just actors, interns who refuse to remain invisible. Everyone is seeking their place in the sun.

They legitimately risk climbing the ladder and succeeding in a profession built on dedication, yet marked by precariousness and the promise of recognition.

But what, after all, lies at the top of those promises? And is there really a top, or is it just an endless matryoshka doll with ever-increasing layers?"

The EmCena festival is organized by the Ajagato Association, in partnership with the municipalities of Sines and Santiago do Cacém

  • 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.”
