The exhibition ‘António: 50 Years of Humour’ is a celebration of the remarkable career, work and dedication of António Antunes, an iconic figure in the world of cartooning. With half a century of contributions to the art of cartooning, this exhibition pays tribute to his exceptional talent.

Throughout his career, António Antunes has been an incisive and insightful voice, capturing the most striking moments in society through humorous satire. His ability to convey social, political and cultural criticism in an intelligent and humorous way has made him a leading figure in the world of cartoons.

As it is impossible to exhibit António’s entire vast body of work – after all, the political cartoonist has been portraying the world like no other for half a century – 130 striking pieces from the last 50 years have been selected to showcase his refined strokes, his scathing intelligence, his ability to reflect on society and capture its crucial moments in humorous strokes of genius that make him an unavoidable name in the world of cartooning.

António collects unusual events, personalities, controversies, and political, cultural, and social happenings in an independent analysis that has accompanied us in this rediscovery of freedom over the last five decades. A round number in the service of satire that now results in the exhibition of the same name, ‘António: 50 Years of Humour’. It is impossible to be in a bad mood with this history of the country and the world.

Visiting hours:

Monday to Thursday: 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Fridays: 9 a.m. to midnight

Saturdays and holidays: 10 a.m. to midnight

Sundays: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Cinderella is a kind and dreamy young woman who lives with her stepmother and two stepsisters, who treat her like a servant after her father’s death. Despite the difficulties, she never loses hope for a better life.

When the prince organises a grand ball to find a bride, Cinderella dreams of going, but is prevented from doing so by her stepmother and stepsisters. With the help of her Fairy Godmother and a little magic, she manages to dress up and arrive at the palace, where her presence does not go unnoticed.

But the spell has a time limit, and Cinderella disappears at midnight, leaving behind only a glass slipper…

In this enchanting show, KlasiKa students bring to life a timeless story, where kindness, courage and dance show that dreams can indeed come true.

Dance is emotion, expression, movement, freedom. It is stretching, shrinking, contracting and flowing… But it is also pausing, breathing, feeling and transmitting. Dancing is speaking with our whole being. It is sharing and introspection, learning and discovery. It is our path!
Come see our show and maybe it can be part of yours!

Nuno (Diogo Morgado) and Sofia (Diana Nicolau) are a happy and successful couple. They have a son, a Labrador, two Mercedes cars, and a three-bedroom flat in Parque das Nações. They have everything except an exciting sex life.
After years of marriage and demanding professional lives, the love remains, but the sexual excitement has disappeared.
To rekindle the flame that has gone out, they decide to try swinging and respond to an online ad from the ‘Kings of Swing’.
Renato (Manuel Marques) and Márcia (Susana Blazer), owners of a mini-market in Fernão Ferro and federated swingers since 2003, are the ‘Kings of Swing’.
What will happen at this meeting? Will there really be a partner swap?

Will everyone be able to go through with the experience?
Will they, will they, will they???

Laurinda and Maria, two unlikely elderly women, become senior citizen influencers after winning a million-dollar scratch card. With the (forced) support of Mr. Alberto, they embark on a crazy journey around the world, showing that it is never too late to live (and go viral) adventures. Between clumsy dances, epic chases and dubious wisdom, the world becomes too small for these unstoppable old ladies.

In the show entitled ‘Ritmos Cruzados’ (Crossed Rhythms), bodies speak where words fall silent. Dance is the language that unites different worlds, a vibrant encounter between traditions, rhythms and movements that cross borders. Each step is a journey, each rhythm a shared memory. A celebration of diversity, where time and space bend to the sound of kompassos.

DANCE | M/6 | Duration: 1h30 | Admission: €6.00 | Grand Auditorium

Rios and Solano are two actors, travelling entertainers, buffoons, who are lost in time. Whenever they leave one theatre, they ‘magically’ enter another. They always come face to face with the audience, already seated, waiting, watching. They feel obliged to start the show.
They bring with them an old wooden chest, a patched cloth and some props.
Throughout the production, they break down all the traditional barriers between actors and audience, tell us about their crazy journeys, perform several famous plays, talk about their fears… What is certain is that with so much enthusiasm, the play never starts. The play reveals to the audience all the typical confusion and difficulties that are hidden behind the scenes of the theatre.
‘Piolhos e Atores’ or “Nhaque” by playwright José Sanchis Sinisterra is a true test, with only two actors playing several characters, singing, dancing, juggling, among other ‘pirouettes’ that captivate the audience until the end.
The production will be handled by the newly formed non-profit cultural association ‘Holofote Robusto’ from Figueira, created to be the first promoter of professional theatre in the municipality of Figueira da Foz.
Show as part of Grandparents’ Day.

THEATRE | M/6 | Duration: 1h30 | Admission: €7.00 | Grand Auditorium

And now, ‘excuse me’, it’s time to make some noise!
