More than 380 artists will fulfil their part of the Imaginarius \u201cDream\u201d with performances on the 12 stages of this edition, 35 shows\/interventions, totalling, during the four days of the festival \u2013 from 25 to 28 May \u2013, 100 hours of programming. It is in the union between the artists and the public, who often change roles, in the sharing of experiences, and in the construction of memories that the Imaginarius Dream is complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22nd edition of Imaginarius \u2013 International Street Theatre Festival of Santa Maria da Feira follows the Dream, with connections to the most varied artistic currents and lines of thought, and its ability to bring multicultural, multidisciplinary artistic expressions to the public space and a very particular reverie to which this festival has already accustomed its audiences.<\/p>\n

All Imaginarius programming is centred on enchantment and fantasy. The main Imaginarius features six Portuguese and international artistic proposals: Aigua, by the Spanish company Xa! Teatre; Cristal Palace, by the French company Transe Express; La Grande Phrase, by the French company Didier Th\u00e9ron; Italy\u2019s Teatro Per Caso bring World of Wonder; the joy of live music is brought by Al-Fanfare, from the Algarve. The world-renowned artist, Pep Bou, accompanied by Martin Cattani, takes us on a fascinating journey into the world of soap bubbles with Bulle \u00e0 Bulle, on the stage of the Ant\u00f3nio Lamoso Cine-Theatre.<\/p>\n

Cria\u00e7\u00f5es Imaginarius creations enhance our programming content and provide a platform to artists and companies of recognized quality. Six creations from various artistic disciplines will have their world premiere in the public space of Santa Maria da Feira. INAC presents a creation that will make us gaze at the sky and verify the crossing of lines produced by funambulism. Ponto de Partida is a proposal that creates a link between this circus technique, Kandinsky’s painting and twelve-tone musical composition.<\/p>\n

Slovenia\u2019s Danijela Zajc was the winner of Mais Imaginarius 2022 and, therefore, in this edition she will be performing her Imaginarius creation Perspective’s Gravity. In\u00eas de Carvalho and the Tu Parles Trop Company present a co-production that, based on a literary work, creates an entrance and journey into a magical world, using a language that criss-crosses illusion and magic, circus and dreams.<\/p>\n

Kefal\u00e9, by the Teatro em Caixa company; Pescadores da Lua, which brings us the wonderful world of clowns, through Seistopeia; Os Colecionadores de Sonhos, by Ponto Produ\u00e7\u00f5es; and Sons do Fij\u00f4, a project that at first may seem disconnected from the scope of the festival, uniting the four philharmonic bands of Santa Maria da Feira in a contemporary register, complete Cria\u00e7\u00f5es Imaginarius.<\/p>\n

Imaginarius Infantil is section that is gaining more and more space at the Santa Maria da Feira festival. The privileged location where everything happens is Rossio. There, we can find the soap bubbles from the Bufa i Rebufa show, by Companhia Enlaire; the stage of Spain\u2019s Jam, a mad hatter; make a stop to see Potted, a show by the Tr\u00f3cola company; we accompany the hybrid and bizarre vehicle of Teatro C’Art, with their creation Woow; and we will still have to find time to get to know the circus of dreams or Roda Viva by In\u00eas de Carvalho and Cie Tu Parles Trop.<\/p>\n

Mais Imaginarius is a section of the festival that challenges emerging artists from around the world to promote contemporary, multidisciplinary and innovative artistic projects in the public space.
