Projecto Ruínas is a theatre creative company, that produces shows in which artistic areas intersect. It's based in Montemor-o-Novo since 2004, where it develops its activity until the present days. Since the beginning, Projecto Ruínas has sought a unique path through experimenting and crossing multiple disciplines and influences, devising new dramaturgies, sharing the creative experience with the public in a raw way, challenging limits, risking and embracing flaws.

Initially, the key feature was improvisation and exploration of the buffoon technique. Shows were built in a site specific, ruined places that were the background of its artistic materials. Devising established itself as a method from 2004 onwards, to bring out original dramaturgy inspired by contemporary themes. The artistic path evolved towards a narrativity. The humanity of the characters, their social context and their placement in situations of identity crisis, appeared as a dramaturgical mark. From 2012, Projecto Ruínas evolved towards a new creation process, centred on a physical approach instead of working from a text, choreography and movement became fundamental elements of the works.
