Festival
✕

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.

Projectos

Filipe Pinto

What does an actor do with a text? Reads it countless times until it is memorized. After it is memorized he frees himself from it. It is an actor´s task to take on the words of others. But when he has already transformed the text into his own words, does he realize that those words are borrowed and not his own? In this workshop, the participants will have the opportunity to try writing and rewriting, approaching the process of making theatre.

*The dramaturgy workshop is part of the developing of the research for the show
