PARA QUE SERVE A CULTURA? – Praga Theater

In 2019, José Maria Vieira Mendes was invited by Teatro LUCA in Lisbon to give a talk for children that dealt with the question ‘What is culture for?’. This conference later gave rise to a book published by Planeta Tangerina, with illustrations by Madalena Matoso and the title Para que serve? 

This lecture now comes to Theatro Circo to introduce thought, philosophy and the idea of questioning to the younger generations in a playful and uncomplicated way. An attempt is made to understand where questions come from and to do this, questions are asked of questions. Does it make sense to ask culture what it’s for? If we ask the questions, we can better understand whether they make sense and it becomes easier to imagine their answers. 

Conference for children aimed primarily at the over-9 age group
