Caixa de Questions is the theatrical street show that Companhia Cepa Torta will stage in the ruins of the ore wharf, at Mina de S. Domingos, in the year of MALACATE. It is a show that will feature the participation of many inhabitants of Mina and its well-known choral group. He will bring us a fable: in the middle of the 19th century. XXII, there is a village where a great mechanism called the worm lives, source of prosperity and happiness of a people who always live in the present. In this great technological center, the days are the same, but none the less happy for that reason - you always live in the now. But on one of these days, always the same, the village receives a visit from a strange stranger who has a simple request to make them. From then on, nothing will be like before. Or rather, like now.

With text and staging by Miguel Maia, this is the biggest production of the MALACATE project and has mobilized several inhabitants of Mina de S. Domingos in recent months, in the different stages of research, creation, construction of costumes and sets and rehearsals.

At the crossroads with the myth of Pandora's box and a reflection on what memory is, in a place as fertile as Mina, the project includes a strong audiovisual component, consummating an idea of transdisciplinarity and confrontation of languages that we are interested in exploring, in addition to reinforcing the impressive character of the show, framed by one of the most significant ruins of the place - the ore pier - a large stone wall, occupied here and there by openings, old portholes for unloading the ore that right there at the side via daylight after extraction.
