The theatre play ‘iMmaculate’ now published, premiered in Coimbra, at Gil Vicente Academic Theatre, on 25 October 2023, in a co-production between Marionet and Gil Vicente Academic Theatre.
The Marionet collection is a publishing space for plays produced by the theatre company of the same name. The main objective of this collection is to contribute to the permanence of this ephemeral art form that is theatre and, in particular, the creative work of this company which, practically since its inception, has been committed to combining theatre with science on stage. This collection therefore aims to give permanent form to the words that have flown across the many stages on which Marionet has performed.
The collection begins with a series of recent texts, which thematically fall within the field of Health Sciences. All of them, like the shows to which they belong, were informed by interviews with patients and health professionals.
