Marionetas de S. Lourenço e o Diabo
For several years, the “Companhia de S. Lourenço” (a puppet theatre company founded by Helena Vaz and José Alberto Gil, along with tenor Fernando Serafim) has its offices in Ar.Co’s own facilities at Rua de Santiago 18. The group first emerges in 1973 under the name “Companhia de Ópera Buffa” and, a year later, adopts the name “Marionetas de S. Lourenço e o Diabo - Teatro de Ópera”. Numerous shows, in the spirit of 18th Century comic opera for singers and puppets, take place in Ar.Co from 1976 to 1982.
