“A Tralha” is a quasi-monologue about hoarding. An essay about waste and obsoleteness, presented as a personal narrative. A reflection about the objects that surround us, that serve as a kind of extension of ourselves, containing our memories and functioning as an interface between us and the world.

Between Heaven and Earth
In “Between Heaven and Earth”, theatre director Mónica Calle picks as a starting point the writings of Fiama Hasse Pais Brandão and, under a BoCA’s invitation, develops a new work for a natural setting: among the beach and dunes of the naturist beach of Costa da Caparica. An intimate and challenging experience for only nine spectators at a time.
Film director Gus Van Sant ventures into his first creation for the stage, a musical theater show inspired by Andy Warhol and his overwhelming talent for elevating images into icons, all while achieving worldwide celebrity status as persona and artist.
In “Brasa”, Tiago Cadete traces one of the lines of his theatrical research, that of the enquiry and critical approach to the historical relations between Portugal and Brazil, accompanied by a group of creatives-performers from diverse backgrounds: Isabél Zuaa, Julia Salem, Keli Freitas, Magnum Alexandre Soares, Ana Lobato, Dori Nigro, Gustavo Ciríaco and Raquel André.
