Sumario:This article discusses the importance of theatre in Portuguese society after the Carnation Revolution. The staging of the play "Liberdade, Liberdade" (1965, Flávio Rangel and Millôr Fernandes) is highlighted as a significant event in this context, occurring just months after the revolutionary events. The adaptation of the play, carried out by Luís Francisco Rebello, Luís de Lima, and Helder Costa, is presented as part of a broader movement of cultural redefinition in Portugal. "Liberdade, Liberdade" incorporated a variety of elements from Portuguese culture, such as poetry, music, and adapted theatrical scenes, echoing the desires for freedom and democracy experienced by society at that historical moment. Through these elements, the play inserts itself into a space of post-revolutionary cultural experience. In the atmosphere of newly acquired freedom in Portugal, new meanings and interpretative possibilities emerged. This article seeks to explore the cultural and political dynamics that surrounded this important theatrical work.
