Práticas de Encontro
In its third edition, Práticas de Encontro is a cycle promoted by the Center for Theatre Studies of theSchool of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon (CET/FLUL) and the performance studio O Canto do Bode with a view to exploring the epistemological, affective and creative scope that the meeting between different people and collectives can provide. We are particularly interested in experimenting with alternative practices of coexistence and of recognizing the experience of the relationship with the other as a way of creating possible worlds.
