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.

Ver no Escuro com João dos Santos Martins

João dos Santos Martins is our guest for this month’s Ver no Escuro spectator club session, which, based on shows by Eszter Salamon, Vera Mantero and Trisha Brown, proposes to us to think about the effectiveness of dance as a discursive gesture. The session will take place on November 25th, at 9pm (zoom). Sign up!
