CÃO SOLTEIRO is a company that brings together artists from different mediums; it has developed theatre projects in Lisbon since 1997.
During this time a work process strongly anchored on the creation of images has been established; this process revolves around the intertwining of languages and the transfer of codes between artistic disciplines.
Thus we continue to question the formal relevance of the theatre, testing the resistance of its structural rules, focusing on the process of creation and the means by which communication is in this context set up.
Our tools of choice are the displacement of formal and meaning-bearing elements, their deliberate dislodgement, absurd appearances, errors and utter lies.
