What we do
01
Creation
We make work with a signature of its own, where theatre, performance, the visual arts and other art forms meet.
02
Engagement
We run participatory projects, workshops and training with people in very different settings, from schools to prisons, and in places that range from Portugal’s depopulated interior to its most densely populated cities.
03
Programming
We programme the Singular Festival, residencies and visiting work that bring contemporary artists and experimental projects to Castelo Branco — and open them up to all audiences.
Founded in Castelo Branco
Projects across a range of art forms
