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.

Dança Doente

Dança Doente approaches dance as pathos, more specifically as a symptom, an alteration of the subjective perception of the body, infected by the world and penetrated by forces which drain and deprive it.

As a point of reference, I borrowed the universe of the Japanese choreographer Hijikata Tatsumi: his writings, images and dances, in a sort of phantasmagoria which is revealed between fascination and fiction.

This work is organized as a pathology which is danced by a body moving outside of itself, a viral, contagious dance, which takes place as a premonition of death, but only as a reaffirmation of life in all its potency.
