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.

Jardim da República Tennis Court, in Alcanena

Apresentação de Vastidão, de Gustavo Ciríaco

Gustavo Ciríaco presents Vastidão, at the Jardim da República Tennis Court, in Alcanena. Vastidão is an outdoor performance that challenges the public space and plays with the basic structure of the diagonals present in dance to create an intricate kinetic game. The presentation of Vastidão is part of the O que (te) diz a dança? cycle, which this year will be in Alcanena, Tomar and Sardoal.
