Ser é a Questão

Ser é a Questão aims to contribute to the holistic training of one hundred children and young people from the Padre Amadeu Pinto Youth Centre, in Monte da Caparica, and 30 children and young people from central Lisbon, engaging them in the process of creating a play based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Through multidisciplinary artistic workshops, coordinated by a team of artists, scientists and educators, the project will build these young people’s self-esteem and self-awareness, social skills (teamwork, interpersonal relationships, respect for difference), a taste for theatre and their artistic sensitivity, enriching the way they see the world. The production will be presented in Pragal and Escola do Largo, in Lisbon.

Project supported under the 2nd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
