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 5th to the 15th of October 2023, the Festival Materiais Diversos will be in Alcanena and Minde with a program of dance, theater and music shows, installations and conversations. Slowing down and making people, places and processes visible are the mottos of the 12th edition of the festival.

For example, a 0v0 is a children’s play by Beatriz Pereira and Carolina Sendim, which reflects on different ways of thinking, feeling and living as if they were cooking recipes. What is a recipe anyway? Do recipes have a memory? Can we create recipes for when we feel like asking questions? How many recipes fit inside the word recipe? In this fictional space, where imagination takes center stage, we imagine what things would be like if they weren’t the way they are, raise questions and build alternatives with a good dose of hunger and creativity.
