Luís Araújo & António Parra / A Turma

A Turma is a theatrical company whose repertoire comprises pieces by key contemporary authors, free adaptations of classics, essays and other literary texts, new pieces and original texts. It sets itself to create memory of its activities by making documentary films, publishing (original texts and translations), touring performances, opening its actions to the public, and organising conferences, interviews, labs and artistic residencies. It fosters cooperation between creators from various performance areas, investing in original content creation, while advocating decent working conditions for the artists. Scenic and dramaturgical research on language and human relations is its strongest principle. It devises and explores communication strategies adequate to each production as an essential part of an artistic process, fostering the creation of new audiences. Since 2018, A Turma has the financial support of the Portuguese Republic – Ministry of Culture / Directorate-General for the Arts.
