April at Teatro Aveirense with a full calendar
Published at — 31 March 2025
April brings to the Teatro Aveirense proposals in different fields, including music, theatre, comedy, cinema and activities for schools, in a dynamic and multifaceted calendar.
The beginning of the month is marked by the celebration of the Carnation Revolution with the Mala Voadora company, which brings to Aveiro its show 25 April 1974, directed by Jorge Andrade, to be performed exclusively for the school community on 3 and 4 April. As well as revealing the facts that ensured the establishment of democracy in Portugal, this creation establishes a dialogue with its audience around the mechanisms for constructing fiction and manipulating reality.
On 6 April, Teatro Aveirense presents Jacarandá, a puppet show by Adriana Melo and Magnum Soares, which takes the form of an intimate, wordless solo on a journey through the depths of nature. Meet at 4pm in the Auditorium of the Sociedade Musical de Santa Cecília, in São Bernardo, with free admission. This is an initiative of the Aveiro em Família municipal programme for children over 6.
The following week, on 10 April, it will be Marquise' turn to perform on stage, as part of the New Thursdays cycle, with which the Aveiro Theatre has been revealing emerging names in national music. Marquise are a quartet born in Porto with a clear influence of 90s alternative rock.
April 11 will have as a highlight the Amigos da Treta phenomenon, a project created in 1997 and presented at the Teatro Aveirense with José Pedro Gomes and Aldo Lima playing the characters Zezé and Jóni. An evening of humour by two of its most renowned practitioners.
Music returns on 19 April with the closing concert of the XXII Internship of the Youth Orchestra of the Official Music Conservatories, an initiative that will take place at the Teatro Aveirense between 16 and 19 April, with a public moment on its final date.
On 22 and 23 April, the Teatro Aveirense will once again host the Italian Film Festival, which in this edition will be showing the films Confidence, by Daniele Luchetti, Diva Futura. Cicciolina and the Revolution of Desire, by Giulia Louise Steigerwalt, The Place of Work, by Michele Riondino, and The Great Ambition, by Andrea Segre.
In cinema, there's also the Os Filmes das Nossas Terças programme, this month filled with the films Monsieu Aznavour, by Mehdi Idir and Grand Corps Malade, on 1 April, Lulu, by Pedro Anjos, on 8 April, and Diamante Bruto, by Agathe Riedinger, on 15 April. These films are joined by the premiere of A Última Meia on 24 April, an animated short film by Carolina Batista with the support of Aveiro City Council.
The month is rounded off with the play Refugiado, on 30 April, directed and performed by Paulo Matos, which focuses on the theme of migration, recounting the epic of a man fleeing the world.
