Barlavento Festival of Performing Arts
26th september — 28th november 2020
Sagres, Lagos, Portimão, Lagoa
VENTANIA – Barlavento Festival of Performing Arts is an act of artistic activism on themes of global citizenship, in the Western Algarve. Originally conceived for the World Water Day, March 22 and World Forest Day, March 21st, due to the COVID’19 pandemic, VENTANIA will reinvent itself and be presented from 26th september to 22nd november, in Vila do Bispo, Lagos, Portimão and Lagoa.
VENTANIA will occupy conventional venues such as the Lagos Cultural Centre, the TEMPO Teatro Municipal de Portimão and the Sagres Fortress Auditorium, as well as unconventional spaces such as the Sagres and Lagoa Municipal Markets, the gardens of Sagres (Vila do Bispo) and Constituição (Lagoa), the Lagos Youth Center (Espaço Jovem), as well as the tourism venues Monte da Casteleja (Lagos) and FAINA Restaurant (Portimão).
VENTANIA aims to spread performances and awareness actions through the Western Algarve, with a multidisciplinary program, covering the areas of contemporary circus and dance, street theatre,music and interdisciplinary performances, seeking to cover audiences of various age ranges and cultural backgrounds.
VENTANIA will surprise the public with environment and citizenship themes, in a subtle cry of alert to human detachment on what surrounds us: a fragile territory like the Algarve region, where the emergence of tourism urges more efficient energy responses, the preservation of the natural and intangible heritage as well as fighting against desertification, seeking a balance that is not always easy. The scarcity of potable water, the values of preservation, sharing and citizenship, which are transversal to mankind, are a constant tone of alert in a sweet and bitter artistic symphony, aesthetic and poetic contemporary reading, making us dream and reflect at the same time on the human impact in the region, but also in the world.
This event is part of the 365 Algarve cultural programme, an initiative of the Secretaries of State for Culture and Tourism, with funding from Turismo de Portugal (Portuguese Tourism Board). It is hosted by the Municipality of Lagoa, Portimão, Lagos and Vila do Bispo and the Regional Directorate of Culture of the Algarve.
