Street Theatre Center - St. Maria da Feira, Portugal - 2009

Client - CCTAR - Council Santa Maria da Feira
Project Leader - Julião Pinto Leite  /  Collaborators - Francesco Ugolotti, Isabela Falcão, Raquel Castanheira, Marta Camalhão  /  3d Carlos Lobão

In a town south of Porto with the typical urban disarray and disconnected layers of construction lays a hidden water pond filling an abandoned stone quarry. The street theater center poses itself at the margin of the pond, slightly overlooking it, twisting from the beginning of the rural street into the end of the small row of houses and agricultural sheds.
​Covered in cork, it offers a stage on all fronts, inside, over itself and under the acoustic dome of the entrance. Plays and spectators could intertwine themselves from the building and over the water, into the hills, under the shadows of the castle.
​The mustaches of the locals would curl and approve.
