Theatre Variedades, one of the cultural icons of Parque Mayer and the city of Lisbon, is celebrating nearly a century of existence.<\/strong>
As it approaches its 100th anniversary, EGEAC \u2013 Lisboa Cultura is launching the campaign \u201cTheatre Variedades: 100 Years of Memories\u201d<\/strong>, an open invitation to all who hold memories, objects, or stories connected to this historic venue.<\/p>\n

Do you have memories of Theatre Variedades?<\/strong>
If you have at home photographs, old tickets, show programs, costumes, or props from Theatre Variedades, now is the time to share them.
If you\u2019ve experienced this stage from the inside and have stories to tell, your voice can help build the collective memory of this historic theater.<\/p>\n

The call is open to everyone and will run until January 31, 2026<\/strong>. The goal is to gather a collection of testimonies, objects, and images to be featured in a centenary commemorative exhibition<\/strong>, scheduled for the same year.<\/p>\n

A stage that made history<\/h3>\n

\u201cFor nearly a century, Theatre Variedades was a stage for emotion, satire, laughter, social critique, culture, and moments of pure joy. It was always a popular and democratic theater \u2013 accessible, vibrant, open-minded, and attentive. We remember not only the artists who performed here but also how Variedades mirrored life in Lisbon, its concerns, and its hopes,\u201d says Joaquim Ren\u00e9, director of Theatre Variedades and Capit\u00f3lio.<\/p>\n

Reopened in October 2024<\/strong>, Variedades returns to the city\u2019s cultural scene with renewed energy, yet remains faithful to its roots. Today, it presents itself as a meeting point between generations and artistic genres<\/strong>, as well as a space for creation and sharing<\/strong>, where tradition and innovation coexist:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re reopening the doors to memory \u2014 without nostalgia \u2014 and also to experimentation and contemporaneity. Variedades today is a living theater \u2013 one that honors its past while looking toward the future of Lisbon\u2019s cultural life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Memories can be shared<\/strong> by email at memoriasvariedades@egeac.pt<\/a>, or in person, by appointment arranged in advance through the same email.<\/p>\n

Digital copies (scans or reproductions), loans, or donations of objects are all welcome.<\/p>\n
