The festival, held with an enthusiastic audience, presented three plays noted for their narratives that encourage critical and social thinking. The Vice-President of the City Council, Emília Cerdeira, attended the opening, reinforcing the municipality's commitment to culture.
The auditorium stage hosted "O Randinã" by the group from the Asociación Dramatúrxica de Pico do Castro (Galicia); "Antígona - Rastos, Restos e Rostos" by the Grupo de Teatro de Machico (Madeira); and "Canto a Flor de Água" by the group Kikodin (León).
In addition to the performances, Platta also included dramatized readings. The winning text of the V Platta Award for Short Theatre was "Tiempos y Secretos" by María Belén Jurado Merelo, whose work was presented in three languages and with three different staging proposals.
Organized by GTV – Grupo de Teatro do Vez, with the support of the Municipality, Platta aims to give a voice to various amateur theatre companies, both national and cross-border, dignifying the art and talent reflected on each stage. The festival is part of the Recontros 2026 Theatre and Expressions Cycle of Arcos de Valdevez.
