PLAY FALSE | cultural association was founded in 2019 by São Castro and António M Cabrita, with the aim of representing the authorial work of these two choreographers, who have been creating pieces together since March 2012. The association also aims to promote the dissemination, production, and research primarily in the field of dance, while also extending its mission to multidisciplinary projects that encourage the intersection of artistic languages. São Castro and António M Cabrita received the Authors' Award from the Portuguese Society of Authors for the piece "Play False" (2015) in the Best Choreography category, and both were honored by the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon with the Silver Medal of Value and Distinction (2016). The creation of the event "The City Dances," curated by São Castro at the invitation of the Municipality of São João da Madeira, and the photographic exhibition "Rehearsal for an Image" - images of Amália Rodrigues by photographer Augusto Cabrita - curated by António M Cabrita at the invitation of Teatro Viriato, as part of the centennial celebration of Amália Rodrigues, are two examples of the activities of this association. It aims to contribute to the existence of a structure/platform that asserts and values national artistic creation and production while serving as a vehicle for its international dissemination.
