Show original (Portuguese)

Sinopse Ninguém gosta de esperar. É uma perda de tempo. As coisas são boas quando acontecem, não quando se espera por elas. E há tantas coisas divertidas à espera de acontecer. Se, ao menos, houvesse uma receita para encher o tempo e acabar com os aborrecimentos. Se não existe ainda, pode ser inventada: é só pesar, misturar, agitar, separar e esperar. Esperar?! Isso é que não! Em 2026, os artistas de Lagos, Ourém e Ponte de Lima, que integram o Boca Aberta desde 2024, criam os seus próprios espetáculos a partir do repertório de textos do projeto. 'Isto é o fim?', 'Quem vai ao mar' e 'Quem espera' estreiam-se, ao longo de 2026, nas cidades de origem dos artistas e apresentam-se posteriormente no D. Maria II, em 2027. Acessibilidade Todas as sessões deste espetáculo são sessões descontraídas. Sessão com interpretação em Língua Gestual Portuguesa e com audiodescrição no dia 15 de maio.
