about
A Turma is a structure of its own creations in the performing and audiovisual arts, founded and based in Porto since 2008. Its repertoire includes plays by fundamental authors of contemporary dramaturgy; free adaptations of classics, essays or other literary texts; new dramaturgy and original texts. It aims to create a memory of its activities by making documentaries, publishing literature (original texts and translations), promoting the circulation of performances and opening up its actions to the public, organizing conferences, interviews, laboratories and artistic residencies. It encourages cooperation between creators from the most diverse areas of performance, investing in the creation of original content and defending decent working conditions for artists. Scenic and dramaturgical research into language and human relationships is its strongest premise. Since 2018, Turma has been funded by the Portuguese Republic - Ministry of Culture / DGArtes.
