TEMPO – Teatro Municipal de Portimão is part of a strategy to revitalize the historic area of the city, in which culture participates as a complementary vector of social and economic development, contributing at the same time as a forum for presenting and promoting a living image of city.
Given its urban centrality, TEMPO serves as a meeting place in the heart of the city, promoting the crossing of public space and stimulating sociability between the different local communities and between them and visitors and artists.
It presents in its spaces (Large Auditorium, Small Auditorium, Black Box and Café-Concerto) a diverse program in artistic forms and expressions (theatre, dance, music…), aimed at different segments of audiences, crossing what comes from outside with the that is created in the city, in coherence with the mission of a local municipal theater.
