Participation in the scenography of the preformative show VISSAIUM (with a replica of a Roman-era altar), conducted by Viriato Theatre, a journey through the history of the city of Viseu. During the route are discovered ancient stones, archaeological sites, still to be excavated, and artefacts that tell stories of a place, which has always been shared by many people, who have lived here and left their mark.
The Roman altar has the following inscription:
"Às deusas e deuses vissaieigenses. Albino, filho de Quéreas, cumpriu o voto de bom grado e merecidamente"
("To the goddesses and gods of Vissai. Albino, son of Chereas, fulfilled his vow willingly and deservedly.")
