Documentation Centre on the Performing Arts and Science

In 2012, Marionet started the Documentation Centre on the Performing Arts and Science, a repository of plays and essays on the intersection between these two areas of knowledge. These works are available for consultation in the Marionet premises and can be borrowed for consultation. You can browse our online catalog. You can also find out more about our Read Theatre with Science initiative.

The readings take place at Marionet's headquarters or in other spaces in the city of Coimbra, with participation being free and open to all interested people. The first session took place in May 2021 and, since then, we have maintained a bimonthly regularity. The Read Theater with Science project aims to showcase dramaturgies with content related to science, which are part of our Performing Arts and Science Documentation Center. This initiative takes the form of public reading sessions of contemporary plays.
