e as flores?

‘And the Flowers?’ (“E as Flores?”), by Joana Gama, is the third instalment in a trilogy dedicated to the theme of Nature, which began with the show ‘Trees Don’t Have Legs to Walk’ (“As árvores não têm pernas para andar”) (2020), aimed at pre-school children, which has now been performed over two hundred times and gave rise to the book of the same name, followed by ‘Birds & Mushrooms’ (“Pássaros & Cogumelos”) (2022), aimed at primary school children, the book for which was published in December 2024.

Given that Art has a transformative power, and that childhood is the cornerstone of how we view the world, this trilogy aims to raise awareness among the youngest children of the importance of Nature and Art, so that children and educators can develop the ability to look at their surroundings in a more empathetic and creative way.

‘And the Flowers?’ (“E as Flores?”) aims to extend this work to the colourful and surprising world of flowers, which accompany us through various stages of life, from the happiest to the saddest, and which are undoubtedly an inexhaustible source of inspiration and enchantment.
