The winning works of the 21st Photographic Race of Portimão – Special Edition “Hope” can be seen from December 10th, at 6 pm, at the Portimão Museum, in an initiative integrated in the celebrations of the City Day. With “HOPE” as the central theme divided into 4 themes: 1-Finally here, 2-Saudades this moment, 3-I see colors, many colors and 4- Happiness is this, this initiative sought to maintain, as in the 2020 edition, the collection of photographic testimonies for future memory, representing the impact of Covid-19 on the forms and solutions found by different communities, in its re-encounter with the “hope” of a desirable return to post-pandemic normality. The exhibition will run until April 24, 2022.

Exhibition “O Recomeço” Born in Lisbon, Ana Banon became an Algarvean at heart when she was 11 years old. Daughter of a plastic artist, she has since fallen in love with the arts. At age 12 she started taking drawing lessons and then ventured out in oil painting as a self-taught person. At the age of 16, she entered a plastic arts competition where she achieved, among more than 30 participants, an honorable 3rd place. She held her first exhibition at the age of 17 and since then has participated in several exhibitions in Portuguese and Spanish art galleries. The dream of following Fine Arts was left behind, but she has been attending training in this area. After an interval between 2007 and 2019, Ana returned to painting in 2020. This exhibition is the result of this relearning of lines and shading. A revival of brushstrokes and colors. The dream retained in time goes on, little by little taking shape and becoming reality.

Later used by Steve Paxton and other dancers, it is currently used in different Dance and Theater Companies, with a fusion of entertainment and social contact, with more performative aspects. This workshop intends to share the basics of the “Contact-improvisation” work, such as “rolling points”, “jumping points”, “slide”, transfer and weight transport. The objective of this workshop is to find, in technique, ways of locomotion in space and communication through movement in contact with the other. Self-confidence, decision-making […]

Presentation of the book “A Baía de Lagos – Food from the Sea” PRESENTATION OF THE BOOK “A BAÍA DE LAGOS – COMIDA DO MAR” January 27th | 17:00 Location: Paços do Concelho Auditorium 21st Century Org.: CM Lagos Free entry Initiative integrated in the celebrations of the 449th anniversary of the elevation of Lagos to a city. Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen described, like no one else, the color, aroma, freshness and variety of fish that the sea offers us. A wealth that comes not only from the natural resources that characterize this coastal territory, but also from the skill, courage and dedication of those who know how to make the best of what the sea has to offer. Local cuisine is all of this together: a mixture of resources and culture, tradition and innovation, stories told and shared memories, joys and sorrows, lack and abundance, knowledge and pleasure. It is not surprising, therefore, that it is increasingly valued as an identity factor and sought after by those who really want to know a destination and its people. What is eaten and how it is eaten says a lot about who we are, about our journey as a people […]

It is a solo for two performers, with their own scores, in a state of search and surrender to movement and “happening”. “You don’t get there or when, or because you want to, it happens.” – Amália Rodrigues In 1962, three revolutionary events, three moments of cleavage transformed the way of understanding pop music, dance and fado. In Liverpool, the explosion of the Beatles begins, with “Love of the Loved” being one of the band’s first songs. In New York, at the Judson Memorial Church, a group of creators gathered, changing the path of dance, among them Yvonne Rainer, who would later create Trio A, an important critical milestone in the history of contemporary dance, and in Lisbon Amália Rodrigues records “Busto”, in an unlikely partnership with Alain Oulman, from which a new fado is born. Without resorting to direct references that build a coherent and descriptive discourse, this creation finds in Amália the integrity and respect, the intensity and restraint that we seek in Dance, in a dramaturgical path punctuated by the writing of Gonçalo M Tavares (Livro da Dança), by unique quotes from Amália and by original solo piano songs by 6 composers. ARTISTIC FACTS Dramaturgical path, creation, […]
