Lisboa na rua/Lisbon in the street…an enjoyable festival
Invitation to go out: the Lisboa na rua festival
Lisbon in the street/Lisboa na rua is a month of shows. And a month of free shows.
The weather is fine, and the evenings – and also the days – invite you to be outside.
Neither a festival nor a travelling show, Lisboa na rua is all of these things at the same time. The festival offers concerts, events, dance, sounds and magic.
Lisbon, the enchantress, becomes even more seductive. It invites us to extend the summer and to gently enter the autumn season.
Lisboa na rua or Lisbon in the street runs from 19 August to 18 September
The programme is available at https://www.culturanarua.pt/
On http://www.lisbonne-affinités.com we highlight our favourites.
Solo Fest for Lisboa na rua
Solo Fest is a festival of solos.
Music, dance and theatre are on the agenda at the opening of Lisboa na rua, on 19 and 20 August.
It takes place at night, at 9.30 pm, in the courtyard of the São Jorge castle.
Two solos per night:
On the 19th with Miguel Sermão’s “Ele” (Him) followed by singer-songwriter Mafalda Veiga and her guitar, a voice that counts in Lisbon
Also on Saturday 20 August at 9:30 pm, a first dance solo by Mano Preto. The choreographer and dancer pays tribute to an influential Cape Verdian artist, Kodé di Dona
Then there will be a solo by the Cuban-Chilean Ana Carla Maza. Composer and performer, she offers us Bahia, voice and violoncello.
Not to be missed, a Solo Fest of proximity.
The magic of Lisbon’s nights and days
The magic festival takes place in the streets of Lisbon, from 23 to 28 August.
Several hours and several places too, repeated so as not to miss anything.
The programme and all the information can be found at https://www.culturanarua.pt/
Of course there is the magic of the visual, but also the magic of the sounds. The delightful and very original Lisboa Soa, Lisbon Resonates, is a travelling and participatory festival based on sound.
Acoustic installations, an artistic interpretation of sounds and images, which make ideas vibrate against a backdrop of social and ecological concerns.
From 26 to 28 August, at the Carpentárias de São Lazaro and Teatro Romano.
