«Cantiga para Ja» is the play by Jean-Pierre Sarrazac and Christina Mirjol, published by Edicións Xerais in paperback (96 pages, in Galician).
The piece is organized around three motifs: utopia as an ideal where harmony overcomes conflict; the cantiga as a memory of the social revolutions of the twentieth century; and the square as a real and symbolic stage for violence, love and revolt. Around José Afonso, it rewrites the recent history of Portugal and proposes an inner, ethical revolution.
It belongs to the collection Os Libros do Centro Dramático Galego, with a translation by Manuel Guede, and served as the basis for a production premiered in Coimbra on 29 December 2003.
For readers of contemporary theatre and for those interested in the recent history of Portugal and the revolutions of the twentieth century.
