MUSCARIUM#10

MUSCARIUM had its first edition in 2015 as part of Teatromosca’s 15th-anniversary celebrations. Alongside this commemorative theme, the intention was to energise a municipal space, the António Silva Auditorium, with the regular presentation of national and international shows; to contribute to the formation of audiences in an area of high population density, but with the little cultural offer; strengthen a network of artistic partners; dynamize Shopping Cacém, enhancing the economic and social value of the initiative; promote a space for dialogue between artists and companies, as well as between them and the public.

MUSCARIUM aims to bring national and international artists closer to Sintra audiences and those from outside the county, who focus on artistic proposals (music, dance, theatre, performance...) in conventional spaces, as well as seeking to articulate the work of some of these artists with the territory where their shows are presented.

In 2022 the festival assumed itself as a space for research, investigation, and artistic experimentation. It favours artists in residence, open rehearsals and meetings between spectators and artistic teams.
