Nr. 14 (December 2010)

In the fourteenth issue of Sinais de Cena we can highlight several articles, among them the one reproduced in Applied Studies dedicated to the dramaturgy of Jaime Salazar Sampaio (1925-2010). In this fixation of what is being done on stage, in this issue of the journal, we were able to count on the precious collaboration of the photographer Jorge Gonçalves, who offers us a remarkable testimony of the New Portuguese Dance, in Portfolio. Director José Caldas also tells us about the theatre that is made and studied in Portugal when he points out – in the Applied Studies section – theatre for children and youth that is being made among us. In the Thematic Dossier and the Loose Archive, the questioning of the reasons and theatrical consequences of the establishment of the Republic in Portugal is underlined. In the first case, legislation, revue, cinema and women in the theatre favored by the Republic are analyzed, thus implying a general assessment of their impact on the performing and screen arts, on the other hand, in the Loose Archive the work was mainly to collect fundamental texts on the theatre that the republican ethos inspired. This issue includes an interview with Orlando Worm. 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.
