Theater – Nights at the Square – The Broken Jug
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? Text: h.v.

July's EmCena performance
❗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

"Scythe"
"Foice" theater fontenova studio theater - emcena project February 12 and 13 Santiago do Cacém and Vila Nova de Santo André [...] This time, it is not just one family that is blocking popular management and appropriation, but an entire tourism and industrial lobby. In secret, a revolt is brewing, where the cooperative's sickles and hoes are being gathered for the armed struggle against speculation, exploitation, and expropriation. Men and women emerge from the shadows of the chaparro to maintain and defend the Costa Vicentina and the Alentejo coastline, preventing them from becoming the "new Ibiza," the "new Hamptons," or the "Saint Tropez of the Atlantic."

Emcena presents "Traverser La Riviere Sous La Pluie" by Itinere Collectif
In November, the EmCena project presents the play "Traverser La Riviere Sous La Pluie" by Itinere Collectif, a collective creation directed by Thylda Barès, on November 6 and 7, at 9:30 p.m., in the Mário Primo Auditorium, at the Padre António Macedo Secondary School, in Vila Nova de Santo André, and on November 8, also at 9:30 p.m., in the António Chainho Municipal Auditorium, in Santiago do Cacém. A fantastic company that returns to us made up of actors from France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Turkey, all trained at the Jacques Lecoq International Theater School. Duration: 60 min. | M/6 Tickets: €5.00 general public - €3.00 under 21s, over 65s - free for AJAGATO members Places of Sale: - Vila Nova de Santo André: capag - 269 751 296 (national landline) - Santiago do Cacém: António Chainho Municipal Auditorium - 269 750 410 (national landline) - Reservations also through CAPAG Organization: ajagato - Amigos do Gato Youth Association Partnership: Santiago do Cacém City Council and Sines City Council 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.
