Abstract

This article undertakes an investigation into the identity markers of the Teatro da Cornucópia, focusing on information extracted from part of the company's official archive. The analysis is primarily based on bureaucratic documentation, especially on correspondence exchanged with official government bodies, trade unions, foundations, theater groups, and other social and cultural agents. The aim is to contribute to a broader understanding of this theater company, recognized as one of the most relevant in the second half of the 20th century in Portugal, as part of the independent theater movement that promoted significant aesthetic and dramaturgical transformations in the post-Revolutionary scenario.
