The Materiais Diversos Festival promotes the meeting of different audiences and imaginaries around the arts (dance, theatre, music and performance) with thought, questioning actuality and fostering cultural participation as a condition for citizenship. Born in Minde, in 2009, it spread to Alcanena and Cartaxo (in 2013) and became one of the most representative projects for programming outside the large centres in Portugal, attempting to think and act from the places it originates. It had been occurring annually until 2017 and became a biannual event starting with its 10th edition in 2019.

From the 3rd to the 12th of October 2025, the Festival Materiais Diversos will be in Alcanena and Minde with a program of dance, theater and music shows, installations and conversations.

La Burla, by Bruno Brandolino and Bibi Dória selected for the Novos Materiais

La Burla, by Bruno Brandolino and Bibi Dória was the project selected for support in 2021, within the context of the production consultancy Novos Materiais. In La Burla, bodies and subjects are invoked for a festive, obscure and ridiculous vision of the world, in an iconic choreography in which visible and invisible figures reunite and socialize.
