In a statement, the show's producer announced that the play will be at the Cine Teatro de Bragança, on the 20th of July, and that, from the 25th to the 27th of July, the play will return to the Time Out studio, in Lisbon, where it premiered in 2018.
In that space, but in August, there will be 13 more representations between the 1st and 25th, once again hosting "Todas as coisas maravilhosas" on the 5th and 6th of September and from the 1st to the 3rd of October.
Ivo Canelas, who directs and interprets, will also take the play to Luanda, on the 8th and 9th of September, followed by Porto, from the 13th to the 17th of that month, at the M.Ou.Co space.
From the 5th to the 7th of October it will be represented at Octant, in Ponta Delgada, from the 11th to the 13th it will be on stage at the Casino da Madeira, in Funchal, and on the 21st at the Associação S. M. Artistas Mirandelenses, in Mirandela.

After three sold-out seasons, actor Ivo Canelas returned to the Time Out studio, Lisbon, from January 3 to 29, 2022, to star in the monologue "Todas as coisas maravilhosas", by English playwright Duncan MacMillan, which had already been seen by 15,000 spectators.
Depression, family, love, existential crises and even suicide are themes that run through the play, in a show that Ivo Canelas addresses with humour, in an intimate way and in which he invites the public to participate.
Based on true facts, the plot of "Todas as coisas maravilhosas" centers on a 7-year-old child who writes down a list of all the beautiful things in life, in an attempt to help his mother overcome depression.
"An archetypal journey where the moments we all identify with are: the first school, the first girlfriend or boyfriend, the first time we leave home", exemplified the actor to Lusa, in an interview in December last year.
For Ivo Canelas, this is not a sad play, even though it addresses mental health problems, such as depression and suicide, and warns of the importance of "a stronger social awareness of these problems".
In the room set up in an arena, Ivo Canelas appears in the center, moving and, punctually, starting a kind of dialogue with a small part of the public, inviting them to "very simple small interventions", which makes "Todas as coisas maravilhosas" a show "different every day".
It is a "hymn to life, as the author conceived the text", underlined the actor, who also adapted the play for Portuguese stages, with the writer Margarida Vale de Gato.
With staging assistance and stage direction by Dora Berardo, the play "Todas as coisas maravilhosas" is executive produced by H2N/Hugo Nóbrega and co-produced by the Time Out/Mariana Vale studio.
The light design was by Paulo Sabino and the sound by Sebastião Santos and Tomás de Almeida.
