About the Festival
The Verão Azul Festival is a transdisciplinary festival dedicated to the promotion and diffusion of the national and international artistic contemporary creation in the Algarve region, organized by the cultural association casaBranca and with the artistic direction of Ana Borralho & João Galante.
Continuing the work implemented in the 2015 edition the strengthening of the intermunicipal relationships’ network, through the established partnerships with the Loulé Local Council and the Teatro das Figuras, has allowed for the extension of the Festival’s territory and to conceive a programming strategy more extended in time that reinforces the ability to disseminate a larger number of Portuguese and foreign creators’ projects.
Therefore, the Festival will take place in several spaces in the cities of Loulé, Faro and Lagos between September 17 and November 6. Its program encompasses projects by Vera Mantero, Cláudia Dias, Ana Borralho & João Galante, Helena Inverno and Verónica Castro, Nathalie Mansoux, Live Low, Black Bombaim, Rodrigo Amado and Colin Stetson, in the Performing Arts areas, Music and Cinema/Video, in parallel to a Collective Photography Exhibition with pieces by André Príncipe, André Uerba, Andrej Djerkovic, Patrícia Almeida and Vasco Célio.
Like in the previous editions, the Festival also holds a space for the younger audiences, with the presentation of a show and a workshop by the choreographer Sílvia Real / Grupo 23, a concert by the pianist and composer Joana Sá, and cinema for children.
