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.

De repente tudo fica preto de gente

Sérgio Caddah

Based on the book by Elias Canetti, Massa e Poder (1960), De repente fica tudo preto de gente investigates masses as multitudes of singularities. A mass which wants to grow and invests in the discharge as a temporary manner of indistinction, in a body-to-body without violence or truce. The spectator shares the space with the actors, a black hole, horizon of event for the masses which seek the blackest point, the darkness, where one is as close to the other as to oneself.
