Doors
Come with us on an adventure to discover the worlds beyond the doors of our imaginations. Enjoy the moment we pass through a door and find ourselves in a place we do not yet know. The epic sceneries, unique people, and colorful snippets of daily life in this strange new world are ours to explore. A Rainbow's Last Wish is guided by magical realism, poetry, movement, and maybe even stories – as long as we are all in this together. Prepare your heart to experience something most beautiful.
We will have the right key.

The Borges
Marta and Pedro Borges love to improvise freely without a pre-planed format, keeping all their options open while entering the stage.
Each fully improvised show is a unique blend of humour, drama and spontaneous storytelling, with character driven narratives, characterised by their long time connection, deep chemistry and quick-witted interactions.
Marta and Pedro are THE BORGES and they will do their thing: improvise a unique play in real time for you!
21:15 - 22:15
The Little Sounds of Silence
A performance that alternates between testimonials and improvised scenes, exploring the theme of things that take time to say, see, do, acknowledge, confront, confess, or celebrate...
Silences are like shadows or clouds within us, and their sounds are like flashes of lightning revealing our cracks: the need to hear them or simply to acknowledge them, to put words to what is already there!
Everything begins with whispers, like loud silences. Then each actor will deliver a monologue based on a confession, something intimate and true that took time to recognize: love, a confession, a fear, a vicious cycle, a habit, a dream... From the testimonial, scenes will unfold. Then another testimonial, followed by more scenes.

Clap Clap
Clap Clap is an original fully improvised play created by OS IMPROVÁVEIS members Pedro and Marta Borges, in which at any point the actors can clap, stopping the action and entering into "rehearsal mode", switching spontaneously and deliberately breaking the 4th wall. This fun show alternates between the improvised play, inspired by the audience's initial suggestions (and completely invented on the spot), and what goes on in the actors' heads. It's improvisation and deconstruction together on stage. Improvisation and metatheatre in an unpredictable ride. Comedy, drama, stories, synapses... anything can happen in this unique show!

Threesome
A living room. Three characters created with the audience. An appointment for a threesome.
An intimate show that takes you into the tender and quirky ambiguity of an evening where anything can happen, between desire, tension, discovering others, and self-discovery…

Got Chalk?
In this interactive improvised story, three people are stuck together in a non geographical location, chosen by the audience.
No one can get out, no one can get in. Story, characters and relationships develop until the audience gets to decide who will die at the end and who will be the cause of it. Then both the audience and the actors will discover how the story will reach its inevitable tragic ending.
Trio - Just B
Final Show!
The teachers will come together for one final show that will serve as the festival closing!
