Teatro das Bacabeiras was built between 1984 and 1990 and opened as Cine Teatro de Macapá. It adopted its current name in 1992. Its modern architecture and proscenium theatre layout distinguish it from Amazonian theatres associated with earlier periods.
Its history also belongs to the artists and groups who have used its stage. In April 2026, the Amapá State Government reported modernisation work on safety, acoustics and accessibility. That report does not confirm reopening: consult Secult before planning a performance or interior visit. The façade can form part of a city-centre walk, while construction areas must be respected.
