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.

O que (te) diz a dança?

O que (te) diz a dança? is a cycle which intends to amplify the perception of what dance is, and demystify the idea that contemporary dance is not for everyone. The cycle unfolds into shows, dialogues and workshops and it takes place between January and May in Alcobaça, Tomar and Leiria. The first show to be presented is SubLinhar by Marta Cerqueira at Cine-teatro de Alcobaça, on the 25^th and the Cine-teatro Paraíso in Tomar on the 27^th.
