Our mission is to place children and young people at the center of a contemporary, regular, and rigorous artistic program.
As a municipal equipment in the city of Lisbon, LU.CA presents and supports performing arts creation specifically aimed at children and young audiences, promoting dialogue between different artistic disciplines and addressing relevant issues of our time.
More than just a stage, LU.CA sees itself as a space for encounter and discovery, building bridges between artists, works, audiences, and the building itself, fostering meaningful cultural experiences that contribute to forming curious, critical, and participatory audiences.
