Theatrical productions and dramatic works are being showcased across various regions, including the Alentejo coast in Portugal and Madeira. 

In the Alentejo region, performances include ‘A Barca dos Loucos’, a production exploring themes of exclusion and freedom, and ‘Maiúscula’, which focuses on the reflections of an aging actress. 

In Madeira, the Teatro Municipal Baltazar Dias is presenting ‘Trilogia da Morte’, a collection of three plays by Filipe Gouveia that draws parallels between historical events—such as the 1521 bubonic plague and the 1940 arrival of refugees—and contemporary issues like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukrainian refugee crisis. Additionally, a contemporary reimagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, titled ‘Lady Macbeth – Página 1606 do Livro’, is being staged in Salvador, Brazil, to explore the humanity and complexity of the character.
