The Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government
presents the 18th Macao Arts Festival (MAF) to be held between 5 May
and 2 June 2007.
The Dramatic Arts are the main course in this edition of
the Macau Arts Festival (MAF), which comes of age to the sound of applause for
the 100th anniversary of modern Chinese Theatre. With more than 45
performances by artists from Germany, Spain, Canada, Austria, Indonesia, Mexico
and France/Hungary, the Festival season would not be complete without the
ever-present spirit of the Portuguese, as well.
O'queStrada brings the popular sounds of their
Tascas Tour to the intimacy of the Dom Pedro V Theatre on 18 and 19 May, and
the Macanese Patois theatre group Dóci Papiaçam di Macau creates their now
legendary caricature of local society with the premiere of Cuza, Dotôr?
(What's up, Doc?) at the Macao Cultural Centre Grand Auditorium on 23 May. This
is the latest work by Miguel de Senna Fernandes, who for more than ten years has
gathered Macanese friends to stage these hilarious stories about Macau.
