The confederation core theatrical research is an association with various cultural and recreational areas of intervention that aims to provide a different view on the Portuguese culture and beyond. It is mainly a vehicle for citizenship since 2009, and which aims to create a critical and attentive mass throughout the universe of the arts.
What is the context of the confederation? When and how was created and its objectives as a cultural entity?
Miguel Ramos: Do not know whether there is context for the Confederation appearance. There is a gradual onset accompanied by constant making, which has helped us realize what really interests us as citizens.
The Confederation has various aspects of art, theater, music and cinema, how did all these vectors combined? In the form of entertainment? Or just in training?
MR: We have a plural team, which means we have to constantly treading paths not stride before. Forcing new points of view, which somehow we turned out every step we take. If the context creator or new features we want a transformation in the individual experiencing, we believe that the experienced must also be transforming. Thus becoming more fair and generous.
What is the balance that you make of the activity of the Confederation since you are ahead of this institution? The positives and negatives aspects, if any.
MR: It's funny speaking of an institution. I'm not sure what the Confederacy is, still. For me it has been a tremendous school. I feel that every day is an exam without clauses numbers.
One of your bets is the auteur cinema, you feel that there was a gap in this area then so you organize several cycles of cinema?
MR: Ethically is the film that most interests us. This followed what I mean by auteur cinema. Actually our bet is Portuguese cinema, because we like the Portuguese cinema. The national cinema is from auteur.
Who is your audience? The fact that you are located in one of the historic areas of the city of Porto has some weight in this matter?
MR: Yesterday we debut our new movie "Legend of Miragaya" and were tremendous, because the house was filled with an audience highly intelligent, opinionated, with thought, with experiences ... but plural in its origins, motivations, etc... Audience we have not actually and also are thing I do not believe at all. I do not like the public, I like those who were well defined by Augusto Boal, I like spectators.
You were one of the partners of the maneuvers, which derive from that two years experience?
MR: In truth the maneuvers not much has changed in the movement, because we were already here, and in any event we continue the walk. The team's maneuvers had immense respect for it, and allied with us in order to further potentiate the route taken in Miragaia.
Tell me a bit of the programming is scheduled for 2013.
MR: I do not know that Portugal will have for 2013. We want to leave everything open for a fight that is wanted urgently. Let us continue to think and to act for ourselves. It will be a fugitive year. There are things in mind that we want to do, but knowing this group work, I do not feel the legitimacy of the open game now.
What is the future of confederation?
MR: We miss him. That is why we ran so we won't let it go away. I believe in the future. The sun will rise like yesterday, the rest is up to us as citizens, we believe that we are part of that future.
