Causa Maior

Causa Maior aimed to know, reflect and show the social value of Companhia Maior, a company composed of artists over the age of 60.

This demonstration magnifies the voice of the people and the artistic and critical work of Companhia Maior. At the same time, it opens pathways to other interpretations and other places of ageing, contributing to the debate on more appropriate public policies for the well-being of older people.

Project supported under the 1st edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
