As part of the Franco-Portuguese Year, the Antoine Watteau Theater invites you to discover the exhibition “The Portuguese Jewish Diaspora: New Christians, Secret Jews, Maranos,” The People of the Nation” (15th-21st centuries) from 27 March to 11 April.
In 1497, the Jewish community in Portugal was forcibly baptized.
Then these “new Christians” began a long period of emigration, punctuated by persecutions and local conditions. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, this Portuguese Jewish diaspora was at the center of the profound social, economic, religious, and intellectual transformations of the European world and participated in the emergence of a certain modernity in the West. It is identified by the term A Nação.
The exhibition is from Sunday 27 March to Monday 11 April.
