PROGRAMMING STRATEGIE

Teatro das Figuras is a venue where contemporary performing arts can be showcased and which focuses on building an ongoing, creative relationship with the surrounding community, helping to form, observe, think about and share new artistic experiences, thus contributing to the cultural development of the city, region and country.

The activity of the Theatre of Figures is defined by programmatic principles that aim to place this cultural venue as a multidisciplinary equipment where original productions and co-productions intertwine with external shows, where the commitment to contemporary art does not exclude historical retreats, where national, international, regional and local productions coexist.

In terms of areas, its activity aims to give meaningful expression to all current programmatic areas: music and opera, dance, theatre, new circus and cinema. And in connection with all of them, an enhanced attention to pedagogical and educational perspectives, with a strong and structured action of the Educational Service.
