What To Expect
Crime, religion and theater techniques combined, make this tour unique.
The Inquisition used theater methods to manifest itself in the exercise of power. The auto-da-fé (the most spectacular exhibition of the penitentes and of the penalties) had a very careful preparation that went from the vestments to the songs, passing through the sermons and choreography. At the same time, I will talk about some toponymic alterations throughout the 20th century. XVIII, before and after the earthquake. There will also be room for a fado about the alley of straw and the origin of the expression "a lot of shit" in the Theater, as well as changes to the patio of comedies and the Palace of the Inquisition, currently the Teatro Nacional Dona Maria II.
Finally, we will have a port at the famous Martinho da Arcada café, where Fernando Pessoa wrote poems over a cup of coffee.
