Heroas do Mar is a project by As Docinhas that brings together music, performance, and visual arts to rethink punk as an aesthetic, political, and identity-driven force. Rooted in the legacy of Portuguese punk after the Revolution, the work builds bridges to the digital present, exploring new forms of resistance in the face of contemporary alienation. From a queer, non-binary perspective and grounded in the traditions of the Minho region, the project questions identity, memory, and transformation, proposing punk as a living space of reinvention.
The premiere of Heroas do Mar will feature two events in Montemor-o-Novo. From 14h00 to 16h00, a roaming performance will make its way through town. Like a VIP party on a yacht, this caravel from As Docinhas will drag its madness through the streets of Montemor-o-Novo. Amid howls, tacky music, and plenty of joy, if you hear the commotion approaching, run to the window: a tsunami is guaranteed. The final docking will take place at XL Box. After shaking up the streets of Montemor, the caravel will come ashore for an unmissable late afternoon of music, performance and mischief.
