Sinopse
“Quem sou eu?” [Who am I?] is an artistic creation project with a social cohesion component, designed for the population of Porto aged 65 and over. Created in 2018, following the Porto Municipality's adherence to the Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities, and integrated into the Action Plan – Porto Age-Friendly City. The “Quem sou eu?” project, developed in partnership with the Teatro de Marionetas do Porto, was born from a strong motivation to work with the community, promoting artistic awareness and cultural involvement through participatory practices. In each new edition, and depending on each group of participants, we create a show in a shared way, discovering the beauty that exists in each person, in a celebration of life! The 8th edition of “Quem sou eu?” is carried out in collaboration with the Junta de Freguesia de Ramalde, through a partnership with the Universidade Intergeracional de Ramalde (UNIR). — Isabel Barros

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.
