TALE OF THE SABIÁ

Cultural Adventure

A committed tale that raises awareness while making us dream.

In the heart of Bahia, the bird-lady Sabiá Comilona sings of the wonders of the tropical forest and the Rio de Contas river. Nestled near the home of Jorge, a big-hearted man, she observes the bonds woven between humans, nature and the spirits of the place.

The arrival of Lorenzo, a curious child from elsewhere, opens the door to luminous encounters, enchanted fishing trips and songs by the water's edge... But in the shadows, a threat looms, ready to disturb the harmony of this little paradise.

“In ‘Conte du Sabiá', the story unfolds along the enchanting coastline of the Cocoa Coast, in Bahia, Brazil. Performed by Danaé Dugardyn and Dom Oliveira, the show invites the audience on a sensory journey, blending storytelling, music and song, to celebrate the richness of nature and warn of its fragility.”

“Through this spellbinding story, audiences discover the exceptional biodiversity of this Brazilian region and even cross paths with an emblematic figure of local folklore. […] A vibrant tale, both poetic and committed, that raises awareness while making us dream.”
