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.

Dois chorões e um dente-de-leão

Dois chorões e um dente-de-leão, a primeira criação de André Cabral, dirigida a um público infantojuvenil, inicia o seu processo de pesquisa em residência entre 20 e 31 de março, nos Estúdios Victor Córdon, em Lisboa. Dois chorões e um dente-de-leão procura trabalhar uma fábula que parte inicialmente das dores de crescimento e atravessa um imaginário fantástico e vivo, fazendo uso do movimento e do texto para aludir ao crescimento físico e mental.
