DES is a Sete Anos creation conceived for the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of 25 April. It's a play conceived for three different territories that evoke different aspects of that historic moment, such as the houses of clandestinity in Seixal, the land reform in Serpa and the resistance of the women cannery workers in Matosinhos.
It has a cast of 16 people, made up of artists, members of the GPI group, young people and citizens over the age of 65 from the three territories, with an intergenerational perspective aimed at sharing the memories of living under the dictatorship with younger people.
