Portugal is Not a Small Country

"Portugal is Not a Small Country" is a powerful stage production by the company Hotel Europa that delves into collective memory through the lens of colonial legacy and the longest-standing dictatorship in Europe. Based on real testimonies from former Portuguese colonists who took part in the refugee exodus from Africa between 1974 and 1976, the play challenges official narratives and invites a critical reexamination of the recent past. Through a blend of documentary theatre, interviews, and audiovisual resources, it creates a space where memory becomes a tool for reflection.
