#MERIDIONALTHEATER@ GOA - STORIES IN TRAVEL is the new creation of the Meridional Theater, constructed from stories, poetry, and excerpts of novels by different authors, written at different moments in the history of Goa, Daman, and Diu. Starting from a research work that begins in literature and expands to music, movement, and the plastic and sensory dimension, the performance seeks the historical, geographical, and human universe of these territories — where Portuguese was spoken, and still is spoken residually today. This is a meeting between Portugal and its own history. A performance that honors the Indo-Portuguese communities that live in Portugal today, bringing to the stage a heritage that many Portuguese have crossed unknowingly, and that many others are completely unaware of. MERIDIONAL THEATER SEASON 2026 September 24 to November 1 https://teatromeridional.net/.../historia/espectaculos/477 Simply Excellent.....😀 (translated)
