Is your wardrobe ready for 2018?
Teatro da Trindade
What happens when a Victorian dream gets a Portuguese twist? That’s a question to be answered at Teatro da Trindade. Here, rabbits are always late, queens have a flair for drama, and a girl named Alice dares to dive headfirst into a world where nothing makes sense - and that’s exactly why it’s brilliant.
Marco Medeiros’ new production turns Lewis Carroll’s tale upside down (literally). With bold staging, lavish costumes, and enough eccentric characters to fill three WhatsApp groups, it’s a trip the audience won’t forget.
With an unhinged Mad Hatter, a Cheshire Cat that grins like it knows all the secrets, and Alice carrying herself with humor and deliberate mischief, nonsense and fun are guaranteed.
At Teatro da Trindade, Soraia Tavares takes center stage as Alice. Supporting her are FF, Ruben Madureira, Sissi Martins, Diogo Mesquita, Rita Tristão da Silva, Alexandre Carvalho, JP Costa, Mariana Lencastre, and Romeu Vala, who turn into a madcap mix of hatters, cats, queens, and mysterious critters. The musical direction is by Artur Guimarães, with vocal direction and assistance by Carlos Meireles.
This musical is a golden ticket for families, dreamers, theatre lovers, and anyone who secretly wishes their lives had talking caterpillars. Alice e o País das Maravilhas is a whirlwind of color and imagination. Just don’t forget: Wonderland pays no mind to logic. Asking for directions never helps.
Where: Teatro da Trindade, Lisboa Thursday - Saturday at 9.00 pm Sundays at 4:30 pm Runs until November 16

Wall is among the most favored and influential photographers of the last few decades.
He is known for exploring the boundaries of photography through theatrically staged scenes and dramatic narratives.
Wall often merges photography, cinema and painting by so meticulously composing a frame that it can ultimately look like a spontaneous documentary moment or even a painting. These moments also reflect the artist’s incomparable awareness of everyday life and social topics, by using his own scenarios as space to depict some issues, such as poverty, loneliness, and social exclusion.
Where: MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
In exhibition until September 1st.
