✕

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.

La Burla

Imagem: Alípio Padilha

LA BURLA ​is a choreographic piece that results from the partnership between Bruno Brandolino (UY) -direction and performance- and Bibi Dória (BR) -co-creation and performance- in collaboration with Leticia Skrycky (UY) -design of lighting. In La Burla bodies and subjects are summoned to access a festive, obscure and ridiculous worldview. Through an iconographic choreography unfolds a grotesque fiction where visible and invisible figures come together and live together.

La Burla seeks in this grotesque universe a gateway to a debauched celebration that establishes a direct relationship with the materiality and pleasures of the body. An invitation to share a space where thrift is disarmed and any hierarchical claim is meaningless.
