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.
Ruído Rosa positions itself on the issue of listening, not only about sound, but also about lesbian and queer sensibilities, as a concern with other forms of research and language creation that question normative methodologies.
Ruído Rosa investigates from the practice of listening, resonating and dissociating: it develops a sensory interference of audible bodies and visible sounds. He proposes a bodily experience of tension between non-opposite poles, where the senses are not binary, to observe the various forms of collaboration, dissociation and resonance between orality, sound and movement.
