Painters, Dutch couple Justine and Edwin, living in Olhão for 10 years, will be exhibiting their individual paintings as well as their larger collaborative paintings. Their contrasting styles are complemented in their still life paintings, as homage and respect both to painter and partner.
The majority of work shown will be Edwin’s - gestural and experimental, whilst Justine’s work is methodical and meticulous.
GALOPIM - Friday, May 31st at 9:30 p.m. at República 14 in Olhão.
In early 2017, João Tiago Neto, mentor of bands such as "Melomeno - Rítmica" and "Nome", groups that stood out in the Algarvian music scene, decided to create a new project of his own named GALOPIM (Moço de recados).
With an EP of 4 songs already recorded GALOPIM is written in Portuguese with lyrics that tell us stories of everyday life without forgetting love as an important theme. With a musical style that goes from the electronic-pop to the experimental low-fi, Galopim advances to a new stage with the company of the musician, also from the Algarve, André de Oliveira on guitars and synthesizers. Friday 9:30 pm at the Re-Criativa República 14 in Olhão.

As the curtain fell recently on The Algarveans Experimental Theatre Group´s highly successful production of Ladies’ Day, one might think that the group would be looking to “rest” and catch their breath. But not at all! Rehearsals have started on a NEW PLAY.
“A Bench in The Sun” by Ron Clark is a comedy about friendship and aging. It tells the story of Burt and Harold who spend their days philosophising and bickering on a bench in the garden of their retirement home, keeping themselves alive and their brain cells churning. When a once-famous actress moves into the retirement home, the two long-time friends begin a competition for her attention with comic results.
