Nr. 11 (June 2009)

In the eleventh issue of Sinais de Cena, a tribute is paid to Augusto Boal (1931-2009). This issue celebrates those who were distinguished by the Critics Prize in 2008: João Brites, who stood out with his creation Saga – Ópera extravagante, among others of his inventive works in the theatre company O bando, Carla Galvão, Nuno Cardoso and Miguel Loureiro, for their inspired creations as performers or directors. The thematic Dossier of this issue is dedicated to all of them. Meanwhile, the issue of violence in the theatre continues to occupy attention in Applied Studies, which collects three more of the papers that were presented in Sofia, Bulgaria, at the 24th Congress of the International Association of Theatre Critics. Includes Portfolio by João Tuna, with photographs TNSJ under the artistic direction of Ricardo Pais. Includes Loose archive about Eça de Queiroz' connection with the theatre. The interview with actress Carmen Dolores stands out in this issue. Critical essays on performances, together with the thematic dossier and academic articles, continue to structure the identity of this publication, aimed at all those interested in the performing arts.
