The Rooster of Barcelos is Portugal’s most popular souvenir. Legends say he miraculously came back to life at the dinner table to save a pilgrim wrongly accused of a crime, but the rooster himself has more than a few questions about his own story.
 
He demands answers from Prime Minister Salazar, the fascist dictator who ruled Portugal for 40 years. The gloves are off and the feathers are flying as the Rooster and Salazar throw down over the pretty lies and ugly fictions that crippled the people of Portugal for decades.
 
From Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan in collaboration with Portugal's premier Theater Company, Mala Voadora, comes an outrageous political satire that reminds us how easily stories can be corrupted and cautions us to watch out for fowl play.

Produced by Mala Voadora in association with Twilight Theatre Co. & Peacedale Global Arts in partnership with the 2025 Under the Radar Festival.
