Thank you to all artists, audience, partner venues and team in this pilot edition, who made this event possible!
The equinoxes will be ours and we will be back to Porto in 2028!
An animal between species, representative of hybridity and resistance, ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶 asserts itself as a symbol of recklessness, crossbreeding, and transgression. A collective body that insists. ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶 was born from the desire to create a weekend festival gathering, focusing on dance and its hybrid languages, crossing performative and sound practices, continuous readings, astral and oracular, as well as temporal, bodily, collective, and situated experiences. Intertwining spaces, people, and rhythms, ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶 affirms conviviality as an artistic and political practice, understanding the gathering as a place of listening, sharing, and transformation.
ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶 proposes a temporary territory for experimentation and sharing, bringing together performances, concerts, workshops, readings, and meetings in different spaces throughout the city of Porto over the course of a weekend. The pilot edition brings together seven independent venues in the city of Porto and 21 artists in a celebration of the spring equinox. On this day of the solar cycle, when the Sun shines directly on the Equator and day and night are in balance, through a journey through the daytime and nighttime hours, we focus our attention on the pleasures, encounters, possibilities, and affections that the bodies on stage produce and move.
