The story

Albica Theatre Festival Maio in Maio island

The newly launched Albica National Theatre Festival on Maio island, first held across four days in August 2025 at Horace Silva Secondary School and the Sao Jose Lighthouse, bringing theatre groups from Maio, Santiago and Sal to Cabo Verde's smallest inhabited island. Its opening production was written by a Maio-based composer.

A brand-new addition to Cabo Verde's theatre calendar, the Albica National Theatre Festival held its first edition on Maio island across four days in August 2025, built specifically to give the country's smallest inhabited island a platform previously reserved for larger islands' established festivals such as Praia's TEARTI.
