12 hours dedicated to the theater, the streets and people. Evora, is the scene of genuine expressions that lead to all , the Theatre and Art . The action jumps to the street, interfering with daily life , offering theater and suggesting interpretations.
Starting from a common idea already developed in previous editions , to present art in a free concept, taking it to people, inspiring them or questioning them, creating " breaks " in their daily lives opening the space that surrounds them and intuiting the creation of new audiences, this event /show theater, follows this principle, pick up on emerging projects, experimental ideas, or plays, rebuilds them and adapts them to the street or outdoor spaces open to the public, using the space as a creative inspiration, and intervention / living facility as a means .
Deconstruct the conventional , recreating it and challenging the actor / performer and the spectator. An open invitation to the population that increasingly lives in an individual way, to share something collective, making it happen through the streets where strolling in the city, on the terraces where having a coffee in the gardens where it rests, or route going to work.

About the author
"We think the art of a free form ... It was from here that we got together and we formed the CAL an open community to ideas, projects, embracing alternatives to what conventionally is done there. We work art in the sense of giving and April ... go to public to seek different stimuli, a process of deconstruction and re-creation. As regards Antonin Artaud, first of all, we need to live, we need to believe what makes us live and that something makes us live (...) .
In this way we try to artfully unite Theatre, Music and Visual Arts in an attitude of joint exploration of art, body, materials, sounds, words, ideas, of ambiences, procedures, directions. We seek from silence to cry, explore the limits and rediscover the freedom to create without total dependence on institutions and capital as the basis of creation.
Descartes tells us, act with more freedom who better understands the alternatives choice. As more clearly appears as an alternative to true, the more easily this alternative is chosen.
Then we walk towards the alternatives."
With this text we present ourselves, since we created the CAL. And today we identify with these words and principles.
As artistic director we have Actress / stage director Ana Leitão, one of the founders of CAL, which coordinates all the events of 12 hours, linking them through the city.
Ana Margarida Leitão, born in Caldas da Rainha and graduated in Theatre Studies / Interpretation in Porto - ESMAE, concluding Masters at the University of Évora in Dramaturgy / Storyboard. He founded about 8 years, the Community of Artists Free, as experimental and theatrical intervention project with the aim of exposing projects and emerging artists.
