2025 was a special year!
This year, we celebrated Marionet’s 25th anniversary and started in January with the good news that our company had officially become a partner in the European project “OneAquaHealth”. It was also at this time that we resumed the “Ler Teatro com Ciência” (Reading Theatre with Science) initiative, which in 2025 included eight sessions, two more than usual.
The following month, we took the show “Oxímoro, entre solstícios e equinócios” (Oxymoron, between solstices and equinoxes) to the Casa Municipal da Cultura de Seia, and in March, we premiered “Atrás da Felicidade” (Behind Happiness) at the Teatro da Cerca de São Bernardo.
Easter week was filled with lively workshops for children and young people, and the same happened again during the summer holidays.
In June, “Rato de Biblioteca” (Library Rat) was performed twice in Montemor-o-Velho, and we also launched the Coleção Marionet, which had two books published this year by Edições Húmus. Also in June, we launched ‘Morder a Dor’ (Bite the Bullet), another video from the “Marionet Digital” project, which had a second instalment in November with ‘Mecânica Genómica’ (Genomic Mechanics).
In September, we welcomed CuCo to our home and, a few weeks later, we co-organised the 3rd edition of the “Theatre about Science” conference, which brought together almost two hundred people from around the world who work in the performing arts and science communication. It was during this event, on 23 October, that we sang happy birthday to Marionet and restaged the emblematic show ‘The Virtuoso’ at the Convento São Francisco.
Finally, we bid farewell with ‘Amor e Informação’ (Love and Information), in three sold-out sessions on the TAGV stage.
After this brief moment of looking back, we turn our attention once again to the future, but not before expressing our deep gratitude to all the people and institutions that made this year unforgettable. We wish you a very Happy Holidays and a magnificent 2026!
