For the weekend, Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd, the “March, month of theatre” programme also includes “Maumdia” by Zenaida Alfama and “Katiuska e Chatonilda” by Morabeza Teatro.
On the 28th, the performance of the play “Sozinha no palco” by the Xpressá Theatre School is scheduled, which will also return to the stage on the 29th and 30th with “Na mund d ́coza runhe tem teatro”, which will close the event’s activities.
The shows will be staged at the Mindelo Cultural Centre (CCM) and the Jotamont Academy.
In the meantime, the Mindelact Association’s programme also includes a general assembly of the institution, scheduled for Tuesday 25th at the Salesiana School of Mindelo.
On World Theatre Day, celebrated on Thursday the 27th, the ceremony to present the Theatrical Merit Award will take place, as usual, which rewards people, groups and entities that stand out in the Cape Verdean theatre scene.
