This project aims to integrate the celebrations of the birth of Joaquim Moreira da Silva, a popular poet born in Vila do Conde in 1886 and who died in 1960.
We take a look at his extensive literary work, poetry, and theater, as well as his life, in order to create a cultural mediation project, using puppets as a creative tool that allows for a dialogue about the importance of this popular figure in the region and the territory.
In the form of a show, there will be a dialogue with the educational community to raise awareness of this figure, a man whose profession was carpentry and who only learned to read and write at the age of 20, but who left us an extensive body of popular literary work.

theater in institutions

Since 2003, Teatro e Marionetas de Mandrágora has acted as a strategic partner in cultural mediation, implementing educational services that utilize puppetry as a vital tool for dialogue.
Our institutional programs are widely disseminated across the country, providing venues with pedagogical tools designed to bridge the gap between institutions and their visitors. These are sensory-driven performances that invite the audience to engage through participatory contemplation.
By promoting Educational Service programs through the art of puppetry, we establish a unique rapport with the public. We aim to foster a global mindset—encouraging audiences to reflect, ponder, and, above all, cultivate new cultural habits. Integrated into heritage promotion and the decoding of artistic languages for young audiences, this project champions the puppet as a powerful vehicle for communication and learning within educational settings.
