The Linha Comum Project celebrates Children's Day in the Bairro dos Moinhos with the Almar Puppets, by Jorge Soares. Descended from figures like Pulcinello or Punch, the Dom Roberto Theater is a popular art marked by the sound of the blade and by short stories full of action. Transmitted through oral tradition and adapted to the social and political context, these narratives have reached the present thanks to the work of masters like António Dias or Domingos Moura, emblematic figures in fairs, beaches, and gardens.

Today, with classics like The Diabolical Barber or The Bullfight, the Dom Roberto Theater is included in the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Portugal. Through new puppeteers and characters, the tradition renews itself, bringing new stories that celebrate a constantly transforming humanity.
