Abstract

This issue aims to constitute itself as a “place of memory”, in relation to a wide range of creative processes and contexts, having invited researchers and artists to question the course of historical experiences of theater under the censorship and contemporary documentary theater in the transition from colonialism to the globalized world we know.  The journal features a section of articles, notes and comments, reviews of shows and publications that respond generically to this theme, including a thematic dossier organized around an iconic piece in the history of Portuguese anti-fascist and anti-colonial resistance, written by Peter Weiss in 1965, entitled O Canto do Papão Lusitano (The Song of the Lusitano Boogeyman).
