Based on Os da Minha Rua by Ondjaki — a book that brings together fictionalized memories of the author's childhood — a multidisciplinary show is born that transforms these brief narratives into scenic material. As in the original work, where small episodes compose an intimate and collective portrait of a neighbourhood, the show draws fragments from everyday life to reveal a childhood made of discoveries, complicity and wonder.

Preserving the orality and poetic dimension of Ondjaki's writing, the production unfolds as a space of multiple voices, where humour, tenderness and amazement traverse the performers and evoke both personal and shared memory.

Central to the creation is the presence of Ondjaki himself, through video or audio narration, reinforcing the dialogue between literature, cinema and theatre. The scenography articulates video projection, back-projection of transparencies and live drawing, creating a visual territory in permanent transformation. The stage thus becomes a living archive of memory, where friends, neighbours and family members emerge as affective figures for the writer and the performers.

Centro Cultural de Belém Foundation reserves the right to carry out the recording, storage and use of image, sound and voice records, for the purposes of dissemination and preservation of memory, both of its cultural and artistic activities and of its spaces.
