Nobody likes waiting. It’s a waste of time. Things are good when they happen, not while 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 put an end to boredom. If there isn’t one yet, it can be invented: just weigh, mix, shake, separate and wait. Wait?! No way!
Created in 2015, Boca Aberta is a theatre project designed to offer new creative experiences to children from the age of three, while encouraging thinking and training the education and culture professionals who work with this age group. It presents shows in school spaces that children know, challenging them and awakening their curiosity and imagination. In 2024, Boca Aberta grew, extending its work to several regions of Portugal and adding activities such as talks and training for education and culture professionals. In this new phase, in partnership with the municipalities of Lagos, Ourém and Ponte de Lima, the project supports the creation of professional companies making work for children outside the big cities, through mentoring, training, funding and a support network for three emerging companies.
