For children and adults, Abaeté premiered in Porto, Portugal, in 2023 and has already been performed in Portugal and Brazil.
SYNOPSIS
In Salvador, at the Abaeté Lagoon, under the songs by Dorival Caymmi and the Ganhadeiras de Itapuã, young Mari plays with her animal friends while her mother washes clothes and her father fishes in the lagoon. A suçuarana (Puma) seems to threaten the peace of the village, and Mari decides to dive in a transformative adventure with her friends that will raise important questions about sense of belonging, spirituality, environmental care, and the right to land.
