Cadernos do Rivoli 08–09

The 90 years that have gone by since the inauguration of Teatro Rivoli in 1932 are the motto for a special edition of Cadernos do Rivoli. It will be a double edition, specifically meant to observe the way in which a theatre can bear witness to the city, taking part in it, and based on it add to the collective and cultural memory. The texts and their authors emerge from several domains of thought: essay, theatrical and choreographic research, literature, history, economy, social and human sciences, philosophy, dramaturgy and artistic creation, architecture and urban planning, design, cultural management and programming. Each of them was thought in articulation with the history of a building that, being a theatre, witnessed the changes the city went through and based on it engaged in dialogues that go beyond the performing arts.
