Brief Introduction Esta noite grita-se is a festival of interpreted readings of theatrical texts, promoted by Companhia Cepa Torta, which in 2026 celebrates 10 years of existence. Held in different locations in the cities of Lisbon and Lagos, and with a wide range of performers under a common artistic direction, the series establishes itself as an annual celebration of theatrical text read aloud. Synopsis In 1950s Barcelona, at the height of the Franco dictatorship, Vitória, a quiet barber's widow, sees her small world of lentils and brooms crumble. For the first time, after years of 'exemplary' behavior, lies, corruption and censorship unfold before her eyes. Through a series of coincidences, she discovers the need to fight and act. In the slow unveiling of the fiction in which everyone lives, struggles are revealed in a tangle of fear, loss and desire: for those they love, for love, or for freedom. In a poetic and disenchanted dramaturgy, Pau Miró brings us the past as someone looking to the future. As someone who cannot forget to fight. Because if the fist is the most visible form of resistance, the trigger always comes from a story. Freedom of thought will always be the last stronghold and above all, it will always be worth fighting for.
