A 739.26 km road that connects a country, from North to South, that passes through 11 districts and 35 municipalities, that runs through 11 mountains and crosses 13 rivers, and that serves as the terrain for a trip that is as much a crossing through Portugal in 2024, like a vertical line that goes back 50 years to rescue documents, reports and memories, with the Commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the 25th April Revolution as its artistic vector.

“Portugal arrived in India… and then? In the second part of the epic “I am Portuguese, Portugal”, we are dazzled by the opulence of the 16th century Portuguese court. XVIII and the bravery shown by the people during the French invasions; we review the political crisis that was triggered by the death of D.

Tanabata is a very special festival in Japan. On this day, people celebrate the conjunction of two stars in the Milky Way. Many years ago, the Yokohama couple met at a Tanabata and were convinced that their union was planned by the stars. That’s how they decided to make a list of the wishes they would fulfill during their lifetime. Today, many years later, the Yokohama couple have fulfilled all their wishes on that list. All but one. One that they always left behind. But this year, it has to be, the Yokohama couple can no longer put it off and have to fulfill the last wish on their list.

That’s exactly what we’re going to give them with this event that wants to be as complete as possible: gastronomy, crafts, but also music, art, popular culture, among others.
The usual host, João Alves, is joined by Marcelo Soares, a comedian from the Algarve, and Pedro Sousa, one of the most recognized stand-up comedians in the country.

Certainly one of the best comedians on stage, Pedro Sousa promises to leave no one indifferent to his energy.
