This performance began with the wish of a grandmother who wanted to tell her grandchildren what her work was. Her work as a choreographer. They came, and became co-creators of an idea that was not there before. It did not exist.
Together, musicians, performers, a scenographer and these two children created Chão de Meninos, the name of a small place in the municipality of Sintra.
It speaks of laughing snow, of a small fable drowning in white, of playful bears and of a garden-carpet born from a shipwreck. The creator of difficult things, a brave and energetic child, pushed the performance into three new seasons: animals, snow and flowers; and music floods everything.
The children take possession of the ground, invading it, moving through it and making it their own. They laugh with this performance of dance and music, a manifestation of the strengths that are yet to arrive and grow.

Black bass 2026 This year’s lineup is being announced later than usual for the reasons we describe below. But first, the good news: this year, for the first time, Black Bass is moving its main days to Odeceixe. The 11th edition takes place on November 20 and 21 at Bar do Toy and Atmosfera, and on Friday, simultaneously—as has been the case since 2023—at CAEP in Portalegre. Admission in Odeceixe is free. In Portalegre, admission costs €5. Black Bass 2026: Odeceixe at Espaço Earlier this week, we were notified of the mandatory closure of cultural activities at Sociedade Harmonia Eborense, the venue that was set to host the three days of Black Bass in Évora. This year, we had decided to move the entire festival to “she” instead of holding it as a single night, in order to highlight an iconic venue in the city. We left a note of solidarity at “she.” We managed to adjust our plans so that the festival could take place at a decentralized venue, with the necessary conditions for its operation, while maintaining free admission in Odeceixe. In 2026, Black Bass joins forces with the capital of Medronhopunk! We want to thank the Odeceixe community, which has rallied to help us make this festival a reality and has done so much in recent days—and especially over the years—showing that even a small village has the potential to be a cultural hub. We hope you’re ready for the odyssey in Odeceixe. Friday, 20 - Odeceixe (free admission) Bar do Toy: Gogotte, Prado, Maquina Atmosfera: DJ set by Lava Gull, DJ set by Ross Friday, 20 - Portalegre (€5) caep: Cat Soup, pcr, Marquise Pátio da Casa: DJ Garden Gnome Saturday, 21 - Odeceixe (free admission) Bar do Toy: Chat grp, baf (es), Cave Story, pcr (KOR) Atmosfera: DJ set by Dawg Kru, DJ set by M'en Fou WE’RE COUNTING ON YOU FOR THIS ODYSSEY!
