The Children's Crusade - Theatre by Bruxa Teatro
The Bruxa Teatro company presents 'The Children's Crusade' at Salão Central Eborense in Évora, with performances running until June 13, 2026. An engaging theatrical production for the whole family, every evening at 7:00 PM.
The Children's Crusade ('A Cruzada das Crianças') is a production by the renowned Bruxa Teatro company, based in Évora, taking the stage at Salão Central Eborense from May 28 to June 13, 2026, with daily performances at 7:00 PM. This play is one of the most anticipated proposals in Évora's spring/early summer cultural calendar.
Inspired by the medieval historical episode known as the 'Children's Crusade', the play promises an engaging theatrical approach combining contemporary drama with striking visual elements. The production was conceived for family and children's audiences, but the depth of the theme and the artistic quality of Bruxa Teatro make it an equally appealing show for adult audiences.
Bruxa Teatro is one of the most respected professional theatre companies in the Alentejo, with decades of activity and a vast repertoire of award-winning shows. The company has distinguished itself through scenic research, original creative work and a commitment to programming accessible to all ages.
The Salão Central Eborense, located in Évora's historic centre, is one of the most historic cultural venues in the city, hosting theatrical, musical and civic events since the early 20th century. Its privileged location, just a few minutes' walk from Praça do Giraldo and the main monuments, makes it easily accessible for visitors staying in the historic centre.
For tourists visiting Évora during the first half of June, this is an excellent opportunity to complement the discovery of the UNESCO-classified heritage with an authentic and contemporary cultural experience. Advance booking through the company's official channels is recommended, as performances often sell out.
