Sinopse
Quem sou eu? is an artistic creation project, with a social cohesion component, designed for the elderly population of the city of Porto. Created in 2018, as part of the Municipality of Porto's membership of the Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities, and promoted in partnership with Teatro de Marionetas do Porto, the project arises from the strong motivation to work with older communities from a perspective of artistic awareness and social inclusion. It's a sensitive look at the population and the city's territory, a journey through the memories of the elderly, looking for the beauty in everyone. The 7th edition of Quem sou eu? is being held in partnership with Centro Social da Foz and with the support of Porto City Council | Social Cohesion Department.
The Quem sou eu? project is part of the Porto Older People Friendly City Action Plan, 2023-2025.

Author's bio text
Teatro de Marionetas do Porto was born in September of 1988, a symbolic date that corresponds to the presentation of the company at the Word Festival of Puppet Theatres in Charleville-Mézières. The company’s theatrical practice reveals a non-conventional way of looking at puppets—in fact, an ever-changing notion—and an understanding of puppet theatre as a poetic and visual language reminiscent of contemporaneity. They seek to find new ways of designing puppets, which are ultimately kinetic objects, and new ways of exploring the grammar of this theatrical language concerning performance and the cross-cutting relation with other forms of expression such as dance, visual arts, music and image. In 2013, when it celebrated its 25th anniversary, the company fulfilled the great dream of its founder (João Paulo Seara Cardoso, 1956-2010) and opened the Porto Puppet Museum.
