For two months, a team from SAMP - Sociedade Artística e Musical dos Pousos visited eight villages of Figueiró dos Vinhos and Pedrogão Grande. As an antidote to isolation, the Palco em Casa project took music, poetry and theater to the home of those who have little or no access to culture.

oments before launching a piece of Gavotte, a solo for violin composed by Bach, Daniel Miguéis looks up briefly and analyzes the distance between the strings of his instrument and the metal pergola that hangs over his head. It is a necessary precaution, so that the arch does not touch the hanging branches and ends up disturbing the performance on this unusual stage, installed in the backyard of the home of Fernanda Rodrigues, woman of her 83 years old, in Ribeira de Alge.
