“A journey through memories of a land, that finds its identity with the arrival of the steam machine…
A place where the men once, pulled habits and traditions, pressed their body and trod the blood that the
earth offered them.
Now the time is marked by the crush of the productivity mechanisms in series, headed for an unknown
future… Consign the Machine to Men or Diminish Men to the Machine?”
 

Full Circle is present by The World Famous with Terrafolk

 “Full Circle uses live music, fire, fireworks and special effects to tell a story of change, taking you on a journey through the seasons. A frozen tree sits in a wintry landscape. The wind howls through its branches, carrying strange sounds. Out of the noise, a tune emerges and four pod-like flowers slowly open to reveal musicians. Live music brings the garden to life… Spring’s new growth blooms into a colourful summer party, heat builds and the air turns heavy; Can music resist the storm?”
Full Circle was commissioned by Big In Falkirk and In Situ and co-commissioned by Without Walls.
 

An incredible performance displayed vertically, along a “wall” made with scaffolding.

Theatron uses technological, multimedia and fireworks equipment, just as easily as it “invents” scenario machines and a whole “sustainable” and “recovered” scenography, thus creating environments that can be “beautiful and pacifying” but suddenly revert to chaotic and disturbing.

“A praise to construction. An ode to the work of making Theatre happen by making Theatre. Kinetic memory of those that exist because they once existed”.

Pi-Leau is street theatre that literally moves the audience. Actors and mobile objects move through and with the crowd. Like the sea people find their way around the emerging obstacles. A unique experience!
The shows combine theatre, stilts, music, fire, dance, metal constructions and aerial objects. The audience is always their stage.

Ice is melting, the sea level is rising and water covers the earth.

After two weeks of activities and many attractions, the Festival of the Oceans shall close with a magnificent fireworks display synchronized with music suited to the moment, and with the Tagus River in the background.

The exhibition covers the first trips made by photo-journalists from National Geographic magazine to Portugal.
In 1910, the year Portugal became a Republic, the magazine published a curious dossier entitled “The Greatness of Little Portugal”. As the country made the transition from a monarchy to a republic, the end result was a remarkable photographic essay depicting our country 100 years ago.
The photographic exhibition to be shown also includes images from the second report, printed in the same magazine in 1922, exclusively about Lisbon, entitled “Lisbon, the City of the Friendly Bay”.
 

The Praça de Camões [Camões Square] shall be transformed into an “Aquarium” for honouring the Portuguese Language.

A venue for reading and literary exchanges, with entertainment, where one can listen to different guests reciting poetry.
 

The façade of Lisbon City Hall will be transformed into a gigantic virtual aquarium with multimedia projections where the public can paint fish, which shall be projected upon the façade of the City Hall building.
To evoke the Centennial of the Portuguese Republic, the fish gradually transform into the national flag.
