Integrated into the official program of Imaginarius – International Street Theater Festival of Santa Maria da Feira, Mais Imaginarius is a section that aims to give space to emerging artists willing to show their work, through a competition for artistic creations specific for the public place.
In 2023, The Festival takes place between May 25th and May 28th and the thematic umbrella is The Dream.
The competition opens the challenge for artists to present proposals that address the public space in its most diverse perceptions, testing formats and models, towards the construction of plural identities. In a dialogue between contemporary artistic creation and public space, it seeks experimentation, exploring new connections between different languages and cultural/natural heritage.
Mais Imaginarius receives applications from artists and collectives from all over the world. Every year, hundreds of high quality projects from different artistic disciplines and crossovers compete for this call, revealing the artists’ will to occupy the public space of Santa Maria da Feira. In this edition, Mais Imaginarius will select up to 20 projects, which will be in competition, presenting themselves during the festival, between May 26th and May 28th.
Innovative approaches, crossing of disciplines, integration of technologies and participation will be relevant pillars in future editions.
Applications close on 10 Oct
