The best thing about doing a show in the open air is to have the sky as a web of light and the sound of the city as a soundtrack.

Based on the temporal and spatial specificities offered by the TeatroAgosto Festival, Ana Gil & Nuno Leão invited the people of the community of Fundão to build a theatrical object that is assumed as Summer Act.

A device is therefore proposed, of sharing a common space and time, where the focus will be the experience that each viewer lives when witnessing this event.
