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.

Art workshops and show 

Based on the series “Os Amigos do Gaspar” and the memory of a political discourse for children, developed by João Paulo Seara Cardoso, in the 1980s, for a generation of children now aged 40, a project is built that reflects on: What characters are these in 2020? What are they talking about with each other? What television work for children still exists with the same political nature as the series by João Paulo Seara Cardoso? What can we say about the future of the idea of society or do for the prevalence of the common, from the 1980s onwards? How do we resist today, how do we preserve ideas of friendship, empathy and solidarity, so that our children will have them in the future?
