During Braga’s White Night, from 6 to 8 September, Theatro Circo will host a series of Braga 25 activities aimed at different audiences.
Families are welcome, groups too and we’ve even prepared a space for you to escape the hustle and bustle of this great city festival. Don’t forget to stop by!
- WISHWALL
WISHWALL – Mural dos desejos is a large-scale installation in the Salão Nobre of the Theatro Circo that invites the public to celebrate the individual and collective dreams of those who live in the city of Braga. Inspired by the entries left in last year’s “Box of Wishes” – where we invited people to write down three wishes for Braga – this installation seeks to give back and amplify those results through the participation and encounter between the community and the piece designed by the Moradavaga collective. There are many ways to do this through this playful and interactive structure, designed for all ages. We’re counting on your curiosity and creativity to discover the dream Braga.
Installation: Moradavaga collective
Time: Fri to Sat 10:00-01:00 / Sun 10:00-18:30

- CHAMBER OF SECRETS
In the Chamber of Secrets, we invite the Noite Branca audience to enter an intimate and confidential space where everything that happens stays private. There, you can share secrets, promises and commitments for the year of the Portuguese Capital of Culture in Braga. In a format that mixes games and conversation, you’ll be challenged to reflect on what you value most in the city’s and country’s culture and to discover the Braga 25 projects that align with your tastes and preferences. Come and join us and be part of this immersive experience for all ages!
Note: participants will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis and each session will last approximately 5 minutes.
