Able to amuse children and adults, Dom Roberto, the hero of these stories, fights giants, monsters, saves princesses and is capable of defeating even his own death.
The Dom Roberto Theater is part of the imagination of the eldest Portuguese and who still remember the robertos in fairs, pilgrimages, beaches and squares in the country. It already has about 4 centuries of history and comes to our days revitalized by several companies including the Valdevinos. More info

“We started in Sintra and we continue in Sintra, where urban and rural realities meet and become an attractive challenge.”
Over the years, the Valdevinos have followed a natural path, learning, teaching, entertaining... bringing to the stage many texts, some original, many by Portuguese authors and even a handful of classics of children's literature.
They seek to address different themes and techniques, use different materials, welcome all ideas and take their theater to all places, especially on an itinerant basis in schools, libraries, beaches, fairs or places that, due to their specificity, are suited to the magical spirit of the puppet.
They are based at the Casa da Marioneta de Sintra, a space that promotes a greater connection with the community, the thematic universe and the company's collection, through programmed activities of an educational and recreational nature.
