Throughout the month of August, the “Noites no Largo” initiative presents the play “A Bilha Quebrada,” performed by Baal17—the Baixo Alentejo Educational Theater Company—which will tour various locations in the municipality between August 13 and 30 at 9:30 p.m., in Alvalade, Costa de Santo André, Cercal do Alentejo, Vale de Água, Cruz de João Mendes, Abela, Santiago do Cacém, Ermidas-Sado, Santa Cruz, Vila Nova de Santo André, São Domingos, and São Bartolomeu da Serra.

The Santiago do Cacém City Council, with the support of the parish councils, aims through this touring initiative to provide the public with free street theater performances, as part of a clear commitment to cultural decentralization.

Musical procession through the streets of each town – 9:00 p.m. | Start of the show – 9:30 p.m.

In a village court, Dona Marta demands justice: someone broke into her daughter Eva’s room during the night and smashed her favorite jug.

Adão, the authoritarian and corrupt judge, prepares to settle the case for his own benefit, but as luck would have it, on that very day he receives a visit from an inspector from the city.

Eva refuses to tell the truth, and suspicion falls on her fiancé.

For Dona Brígida, who never misses a thing, the Devil is involved in the matter.

After all, who broke Dona Marta’s jug?

  • 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.”
