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.

Didascálias

© Iolanda Pereira (festival Materiais Diversos)

Based on the didascalia of three classic theatre texts, the work revisits the domestic spaces described in the texts and the imagery of “home” that they carry. Two performers play with words and time to construct other spaces, figures and relationships. The unfolding of this game of constructing and deconstructing leaves the question hanging in the balance: what can be imagined from these words that were written not to be spoken?

*Didascalias: In theatre texts, they describe the time and space in which the drama takes place. They also serve as indications for the actors’ performances. They are also known as rubrics.
