Paralelo - Approach Programme to Performing Arts
This programme, implemented by Teatro Municipal do Porto, develops and presents a variety of proposals linked to the programme and for all audiences. It thus puts forward different activities taking place or being developed mostly at Rivoli and Campo Alegre, but also in schools or other spaces, ranging from performances to workshops, from encounters to long term projects, from talks to guided tours. Given that its main purpose is mediation, it is crucial to focus on the diversity of audiences, as well as on the fostering of an active, critical participation that enhances reflection upon the performing arts, and a close and constructive relation to the authors and their works. While it offers performances and activities specifically meant for schools and families on a monthly basis, Paralelo also provides other audiences with the chance to approach performing arts through different proposals and approaches.
