Days of Dance and Contemporary Creation in Lagos

Next Wednesday, the Pedra Dura – Algarve Dance Festival returns to Lagos, from November 4 to 14, for its 5th edition. Over the course of 11 days, the festival presents a program that blends contemporary dance, film, music, installations, and performance, taking place in various venues throughout the city and bringing artists and audiences together.

Among the highlights of this edition are Alessandro Sciarroni, with “Save the Last Dance for Me”; Vera Mantero, with “A Mysterious Thing, Said e.e. Cummings”; and Clara Andermatt, with “The Weariness of the Saints.” The program also includes works by Tales Frey, Sarah Baltzinger, and Isaiah Wilson, Bruno Senune, and several other national and international artists. In addition to the performances, Pedra Dura is once again focusing on training and the sharing of artistic practices, with two free masterclasses for which registration is now open.

Under the theme “We look back without repeating the moment,” this edition invites us to revisit what has been left behind: to recognize what has left its mark, rediscover memories, and understand what is still in motion. Looking anew, from the present. It is in this space between memory and change, permanence and reinvention, that this new edition of the festival is built.

With artistic direction by Daniel Matos and Joana Flor Duarte, Pedra Dura is a co-production of cama a.c. and the Municipality of Lagos, with support from the Directorate-General for the Arts.
