OBJECT_DESCRIPTION_EN :

Simão is a child who lives right on the seafront, but has never set foot on the sands of the beach or dived into the sea.

Simon symbolizes the over-protected children of our times, who don't play alone in the street, and who live in gated communities overlooking the sea. This is the reality of many children. Despite living in wonderful places, they suffer from a lack of freedom due to their parents' concerns about safety, prioritizing play in controlled environments, far from nature and their surroundings. The show questions educational standards and the alienation of new generations from local culture and traditions.

OBJECT_CONTEXT_EN :

This creation was born as result of the relationship the company has established with the fishing community of Espinho.
