Res publica
a caricatura ao serviço da tristeza pública (2010)
No seguimento do seu trabalho anterior sobre a história de Portugal, nomeadamente a história de “Inês de Castro”, “Padeira de Aljubarrota” e mais recentemente “A Ver Navios no reinado de D. João VI e Carlota Joaquina” a companhia S.A.Marionetas dá continuidade a este ciclo abordando o tema da República.
Nesta produção mantém-se a preocupação de relatar os acontecimentos históricos, tanto a nível político como a nível social, utilizando para o efeito marionetas de fios.
A construção das marionetas é inspirada na obra caricatural de Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, criando assim personagens que são caricaturas vivas que representam os intervenientes dos acontecimentos que culminaram na revolução de 1910.
Bordalo Pinheiro e sua personagem mais famosa Zé Povinho encontram-se para em conversa animada, contarem um ao outro os acontecimentos que levaram à implantação da República. Bordalo faleceu antes de tudo acontecer, mas o seu Zé vai-lhe contar como tudo aconteceu. Os artistas contemporâneos da época também assistiram, e aparecem para dar uma pincelada ou um toque de poesia aos acontecimentos.
Um país no caos, um rei apagado, um povo revoltado, e a caricatura ao serviço da tristeza pública.
(Espectáculo proposto para as comemorações nacionais do centenário da República)

A Ver Navios
no reinado de D.João VI e Carlota Joaquina (2008)
1807, Novembro. Quase às portas de Lisboa as tropas de Napoleão ameaçam fazer capitular o Rei,
como já aconteceu por toda a Europa e mesmo com a vizinha Espanha
com quem tinha anteriormente feito uma coligação.
No gabinete D. João VI reúne com os seus conselheiros. Tem que decidir se entra no Bloqueio Continental decretado por Napoleão contra os Ingleses, ou se parte numa viagem jamais feita por um monarca europeu contando com o apoio dos “sempre presentes e velhos aliados” Ingleses.
Assim tem início o espectáculo que conta a grande aventura de D. João VI
e toda a sua corte no Brasil. Conta-se como foi e porque foi.
O elenco conta com 22 marionetas de fios.
Espectáculo integrado nas comemorações dos 200 anos Portugal / Brasil

FRIEND (2011)
The company SAMarionetas - Teatro & Bonecos presents its most recent production “AMIGO”, an original by José Gil and Camila Moreira. After SAMarionetas co-produced in 2007 with CêDêCê - contemporary dance company the show The Pandora's Box, now brings contemporary dance and puppetry together in a naked space where one of the most beautiful values found can have between two beings - friendship. “FRIEND” is the fulfillment of an old desire between the two protagonists (José Gil and Camila Moreira) where it is intended to merge these two forms of art in a way never seen before, thus leading to a narrative approach, where words are replaced through music and movement.
“FRIEND” may be the most beautiful, but at the same time the most risky show we have ever done, as we are working with a 15-string puppet live on a stage with a ballerina where anything can happen, as in the circus that the public you will see if the artist “falls” here is more if the artists “curl up” JG / CM.

GENESIS (2009)
Self of Creation + Doomsday Altarpiece
This troupe of puppeteers promised their benefactor Dom Pero Paes Pereira, a good and faithful man, to tell the stories he most liked using his tombstone. This good man did not want to use this beautiful work of art in limestone for his final rest, thus leaving it in testament to this itinerant troupe of puppeteers who recreated the “Auto da Criação” and the “Final Judgment” altarpiece according to his desire. The "functions" depict an allegory of the creation of the world with Adam, Eve, the forbidden and clear fruit to the Serpent, as well as the doomsday altarpiece where sinners will go to Hell and good men will go to Heaven. But that judgment will be done by all those who attend these functions.

The Fault was by Inês (2005)
Companhia SAMarionetas - Teatro & Bonecos presents, for the first time in puppet theater, the tragic life of D. Inês de Castro and D. Pedro I. The show encompasses the time period beginning with the birth of D. Pedro I, portraying the universal romantic tragedy, in a perspective that seeks to balance the legendary aspect with history, but also to recreate and reinvent the myth by correlating it with its more or less contemporary interpretations. The cast has fifty puppets.
"Kingdom of Portugal. The year of Grace is in 1320 and in the recent nation there is still a struggle with the Moors, there to the south, in the Algarve, sometimes with the neighbors of Castile, there to the east, and, against the plague everywhere ... The King , the brave D. Afonso IV, has the best news of the year this spring: the young D. Pedro was born in Coimbra and everything led him to believe that this time Providência smiled at him ... the future looked bright. Now, for the kingdom to thrive like its son, it was enough to try to find him a wife. But there would certainly be no problems… ”
Show integrated in the National Celebrations of the Inesian Year.
