Dom Roberto Theater
traditional Portuguese puppet theater
traditional repertoire titles
- The Barber
- The Bullfight
- Castle Ghosts
- Rose and the three boyfriends
- Saloio de Alcobaça
The Robertos Theater certainly represents one of the oldest traditions of the performing arts, not only in its Portuguese and European aspects, but also in the popular heroes of the East. In fact, the origin of this popular art form of representation goes back, in the European tradition to the 16th century Italian Commedia dell 'Arte and it does not seem unlikely that the Eastern traditions have had any influence on the evolution of this traditional type of representation. .
SAMarionetas, having had the privilege of direct contact with Mestre António Dias, one of the last popular Portuguese puppeteers, recreated, based on his testimony, two pieces - “O Barbeiro” and “A Tourada”. More recently, and looking to preserve this traditional art form, the company has recovered three more pieces from the Robertos Theater repertoire - “A Rosa e os 3 Namorados” and “O Castelo dos Fantasmas” and Saloio de Alcobaça ".
The intention is thus not to let Robertos' theater disappear as a Portuguese cultural heritage.
Puppeteer: José Gil

Res publica caricature at the service of public sorrow
In this production, the concern remains to report historical events, both politically and socially, using string puppets for this purpose.
The construction of the puppets is inspired by Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro's caricatural work, thus creating characters that are vivid caricatures that represent the actors of the events that culminated in the 1910 revolution.
Bordalo Pinheiro and his most famous character Zé Povinho meet in animated conversation to tell each other the events that led to the implantation of the Republic. Bordalo passed away before everything happened, but Zé will tell you how it happened. Contemporary artists of the time also watched, and appear to give a stroke or a touch of poetry to events.
A country in chaos, an extinguished king, a revolted people, and a cartoon at the service of public sadness.
