Saiba mais: https://gulbenkian.pt/agenda/centenar... Em 2020 celebra-se o Centenário do Dramaturgo Bernardo Santareno, considerado por alguma Crítica como “o maior Dramaturgo português do século XX”, embora muito esquecido ou ignorado pelas novas gerações. Este Colóquio constitui o evento de abertura das Comemorações do Centenário, que ao longo de todo o ano de 2020, incluirá atividades de vária ordem organizadas por entidades parceiras, quer sejam Teatros, Câmaras Municipais, Fundações, Revistas Literárias, etc. Com curadoria de Fernanda Lapa, Diretora da “Escola de Mulheres – Oficina de Teatro” o Colóquio reúne personalidades do meio académico e teatral que irão falar da personalidade e da obra de Santareno e, numa pequena exposição, serão apresentados documentos e curiosidades ligados ao Autor.
