Street theatre performance staged along a route. The scenes unfold independently of one another, beginning close to the concept of 'invisible theatre' and progressively evolving into an openly theatrical situation. Each scene is inspired by a Portuguese idiomatic expression and addresses everyday themes, such as the individual's relationships within the family, in public space, with society and with the world. The event takes place on 26 September – 11am, on Estrada de Benfica; 27 September – 5pm, on Estrada de Benfica; 4 October – 11:30am and 5pm, at Jardim da Estrela; and 10 October – 11am, on Estrada de Benfica.
