Throughout the month of August, the “Noites no Largo” initiative presents the play “A Bilha Quebrada,” performed by Baal17—the Baixo Alentejo Educational Theater Company—which will tour various locations in the municipality between August 13 and 30 at 9:30 p.m., in Alvalade, Costa de Santo André, Cercal do Alentejo, Vale de Água, Cruz de João Mendes, Abela, Santiago do Cacém, Ermidas-Sado, Santa Cruz, Vila Nova de Santo André, São Domingos, and São Bartolomeu da Serra.

The Santiago do Cacém City Council, with the support of the parish councils, aims through this touring initiative to provide the public with free street theater performances, as part of a clear commitment to cultural decentralization.

Musical procession through the streets of each town – 9:00 p.m. | Start of the show – 9:30 p.m.

In a village court, Dona Marta demands justice: someone broke into her daughter Eva’s room during the night and smashed her favorite jug.

Adão, the authoritarian and corrupt judge, prepares to settle the case for his own benefit, but as luck would have it, on that very day he receives a visit from an inspector from the city.

Eva refuses to tell the truth, and suspicion falls on her fiancé.

For Dona Brígida, who never misses a thing, the Devil is involved in the matter.

After all, who broke Dona Marta’s jug?
