I saw some people are already starting to make their games without the theme being announced, so I ask:
Is the theme obrigatory or is just an theme for helping you getting an idea?

If it is the second option correct, then I'm sad ;-; I REALLY hope that the first option is correct, the game jams I heard about there was a theme that you HAD to follow, I never knew about a game jam that had a different type of theme.

The theme is optional (from what I know)

from the jam page: 

Our theme (entirely optional) for this jam will be announced at a later date.

You may use the theme in your game but you don't have to! While the focus of our jam is learning, we provide a theme for jammers who are interested in some direction.

Thanks,I will wait for the optional theme, next time I participate in the jam I'll start making the make earlier.

Update: the theme is "Change", but you shouldn't start working (anything more than brainstorming/concepting a rough idea of what you're making & your timeline or scope) until the actual jam start on the 11th!
