Who Waits - Boca Aberta

Quem espera - Boca Aberta

Theatre 4€

Saturday 8 May · until 15 May

A play that starts from the idea that nobody likes waiting, and invents a recipe to fill time and end boredom.

Synopsis Nobody likes to wait. It's a waste of time. Things are good when they happen, not when you wait for them. And there are so many fun things waiting to happen. If only there were a recipe to fill the time and end boredom. If it doesn't exist yet, it can be invented: just weigh, mix, shake, separate and wait. Wait?! That's not happening! In 2026, the artists from Lagos, Ourém and Ponte de Lima, who have been part of Boca Aberta since 2024, create their own shows based on the project's repertoire of texts. 'Isto é o fim?', 'Quem vai ao mar' and 'Quem espera' premiere throughout 2026 in the artists' home cities and are subsequently presented at D. Maria II in 2027. Accessibility All sessions of this show are relaxed sessions. Session with Portuguese Sign Language interpretation and audio description on May 15.
