The fifth edition of the Linha de Fuga Festival, with the theme “Performativity of Friendship,” ended last Wednesday, December 3.
It was a very intense month of programming, and I had the privilege of photographically documenting the entire event, and I want to share the best moments with you.
"Linha de Fuga is a contemporary dance festival, but it is also a space for critical reflection on society, striving to build community spaces and relationships with the territory, between audiences, artists, and partners.
Many of the shows scheduled also consider friendship to be necessary for the construction of spaces of resistance," according to information provided by the organization of which I am a technical member.
It was a festival that covered a range of activities, from workshops, shows, performances, talks, debates, exhibitions, activations, and other events that took place in the city of Coimbra, Portugal.
