The Graciosa Island Cultural Centre hosted, on November 3rd, two performances of the play "As Ilhas Desconhecidas: A Viagem Artificial", marking the 100th anniversary of Raul Brandão's work.

The initiative, promoted by the Atlantic Culture Promotion Agency, included a session for the school community of the Graciosa Basic and Secondary School and another open to the public, allowing for close contact with a significant work about the Azores.
The Municipality of Santa Cruz da Graciosa, in collaboration with the Graciosa Museum, provided the necessary logistical support for the event. This celebration aims to enhance the Azorean cultural and literary heritage and honour the legacy of Raul Brandão.
