The Dramaturgy Laboratory was conceived by Teatro Meridional, in collaboration with CET, and aims to encourage the creation of new texts in Portuguese by promoting a joint venture between writers and a panel of artists and academics in the writing of a text.

The deadline for applications was 10th February. Thirty-seven proposals were received, from which two authors were selected: Lara Morgado and Ricardo Correia, whose texts had, respectively, the following provisional titles: O sonho de alguém [Someone’s Dream] and Museu da História Europeia [Museum of European History].
