The Dóci Papiaçám di Macau Drama Group is presenting their annual masterpiece on the stage of the Macao Arts Festival, where a group of local Macanese actors point out the social ills via sarcasm and condemnation. Apart from being humorous and jocular, the content is also filled with a local flavour. It combines current affairs with humanistic feelings, reflecting the lifestyle of Macao and provoking people to think deeply.
