In the year that Braga is Portuguese Capital of Culture, gnration and Theatro Circo host the 2025 edition of Cenários, a programme of reflection by the D. Maria II National Theatre.
This year, artists, thinkers and the public are invited to learn about and discuss how Braga has interpreted this project, with a programme that celebrates the dialogue between national artistic creation and the possibilities of connection with Europe.
Cenários also proposes a reflection on the diagnoses and perspectives resulting from the two-year journey begun in January 2023 by the D. Maria II National Theatre, while also observing other fundamental issues for the future of art and culture in Portugal.
