- Dom Roberto can barely afford to eat, let alone get married. But he has dreams—and those are free. So he’ll marry however he can, with a scruffy beard, after much strife and bloodshed. And if, in the end, the devil wreaks havoc and death takes its toll, may he have our forgiveness.

The Devilish Barber
A frenetic pace, an absolutely visual narrative, with surprising pyrotechnic effects and illusions. It's one of the oldest texts in traditional Portuguese puppet theater, “Dom Roberto”, a national intangible heritage.
VumTeatro
The VUMTEATRO Collective has been based on the island of Terceira-Azores since 2019. There are two actors, Ricardo and Raquel, an architect-sculptor, Marcos Evangelho, and Arlinda Lopes, who is a costume designer and artisan. They dedicate themselves mainly to the Dom Roberto Traditional Portuguese Theater, putting on shows from the popular repertoire but also new stories and a construction workshop for children: "robertins". In 2020 they created "Papamundos: teatro de sombras e outras inexistências", a story full of humor and play for all ages.
