The magazine has filled a position that has been vacant for 70 years. As the title suggests, it aims, on the one hand, to revive memories, increasing knowledge of the Portuguese theatrical phenomenon from its origins until 25 April 1974; on the other, to ensure the rigour of a process of re-visioning the History of Theatre in Portugal, which covers diverse themes and subjects, such as those inherent to the theatrical performance itself (theatre professionals, repertoire, spaces, sets, costumes, music, theatre aesthetics; theatre poetics, etc. ) or circumstantial ones (socio-occupational conditions for the practice of theatre, the socio-cultural place of theatre, cultural policies, etc.).

The eclecticism of the magazine’s programme is fulfilled by the visit of the first two issues to the last five centuries.
