The word Brazil has its origin in the large quantities of brazilwood trees found in regions of the Brazilian coast. "Brasil" derives from "brasa" ("ember") because this tree has a red-coloured sap, the colour of ember. For years, these trees were extracted and sold to Europe. We can say that it was one of the products that most often crossed the Atlantic. In recent years, new migratory groups chose Portugal or Brazil for their academic studies, in the search for new job opportunities or simply to leave their own countries for political reasons. But who are these new Portuguese and Brazilian migrants? What hopes do they have when they decide to leave?

BRASA will be performed at Teatro das figuras on 29 September 2021.
