With its origin back in the 60's (by Professor Paulo Quintela/University of Coimbra), the festival had its first edition organized by CITEC - Centre for Theatrical Iniciation Esther de Carvalho - in 1974 and it is nowadays Portugal's oldest Theatre Festival. CITEMOR possesses a transversal perspective of all artistic forms including theatre, dance, music, cinema, video, art, etc. The shows on the line-up are ordered and produced by the festival, co-produced with other partners or with the creators and companies invited, and developed in Montemor-o-Velho through an Artistic Residency process.

It is a summer festival, deeply marked by the ownership and use of unconventional theatrical spaces of historical, arquitectual or natural interest. When it comes to the programme, the festival focuses on new generations of creators and provides continuous monitoring and input throughout their creative paths. The festival pays special attention on new theatrical approaches and languages.
