This work is born from the wondrous traditional Portuguese tales.
The performance draws inspiration from the fable “Cravo, Rosa e Jasmim” (Carnation, Rose, and Jasmine) by Teófilo Braga, collected over a hundred years ago. We invite you to join the adventure of the traveling storytellers.
A "theatre-van" that travels from land to land, restoring the oral tradition, the sense of community, and the enjoyment of an art form made of time, people, and an artistic vision full of poetry.

travelling theater

The outdoors, the street, and the open air are as much a way of being as they are a form of artistic dialogue. This is the privileged stage for community life. In a country like Portugal, the occupation of outdoor spaces—our squares, gardens, and beaches—is fundamental. These are places where the sun shines and where families, children, and spectators gather, turning artistic creation into a point of contact, with the sky and the landscape as their backdrop.
Since time immemorial, whether through small or large-scale works, historical contexts, or vibrant festivals, our territory has offered magnificent natural and urban spaces. We populate these settings with countless proposals born from our particular artistic way of being. Whether through new creations, itinerant performances, or the presentation of our beloved Teatro Dom Roberto, we believe that the street and the open air are inseparable from our journey.
The street is not simple; it contends with atmospheric unpredictability, the inconstancy of space, and shifting social dynamics. Yet, it is immediately embraced by the local population—the people who transform a fleeting performance into a lasting memory. We deeply value the outdoors and feel that it remains the ideal place to make art happen.
