Mentes que Sentem

Isto é PARTIS & Art for Change 2023

Event Slider

A play that brings together stories of mental health challenges from participants in the SenteMente project, supported by the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative.

Mentes que Sentem [Minds that Feel] was created by Companhia de Teatro de Sintra as a result of the participatory art project “SenteMente – práticas artísticas sobre o bem-estar e saúde mental em mulheres” [SenteMente – Artistic Practices on Well-being and Mental Health in Women], developed under the PARTIS & Art for Change programme.

The play gathers the testimonials and stories of the project participants in an effort to reduce the stigma around mental disorders, such as depression. On stage, this group of non-professional actresses shares a quilt of stories, lend their voices to each other and narrate their experiences, in an inevitable path of resilience.

Duration 50 min.
