Centro de Estudos de Teatro (FLUL) and Companhia Mascarenhas-Martins joined efforts for the first time in 2017 in order to promote a public discussion about how the dimensions of creating and producing are put into pratice. That first meeting was published in a bilingual book: Criar e Produzir / Creating & Producing. Given that in 2020 it was impossible to put together a presential meeting, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a number of interviews with artists and producers was recorded and transformed into an e-book.

The return to the original framework only took place on the 18th of July 2021 in Setúbal, at Casa da Cultura, with support from Setúbal Municipality and the participation of:

Cátia Tomé, Ivo Saraiva e Silva, Ricardo Teixeira (SillySeason)
Frédéric da Cruz Pires (Leirena Teatro)
Mónica Almeida
Marco Paiva (Terra Amarela)
Ruy Malheiro (Escola de Mulheres)

Financed by República Portuguesa – Cultura / Direção-Geral das Artes, Câmara Municipal de Setúbal
This work is co-financed by national funds through the FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P., within the scope of the projects «UIDB/00279/2020» e «UIDP/00279/2020».
