Music Theatre Festival: Cartographies in Motion (2nd edition)

Music Theatre Festival: Cartographies in Motion (2nd edition) decorre de 9 a 19 de junho de 2027, em Lisboa.

The Music Theatre Festival: ‘Cartographies in Motion’ is an international music theatre festival based in Lisbon, Portugal, dedicated to exploring the intersections of music, theatre, movement/dance and contemporary performance. Its second edition will take place from 9 to 19 June 2027, under the artistic direction and curatorship of Filipa Magalhães. The Festival aims to rediscover, reimagine and bring to the stage significant works from the history of music theatre, while engaging with contemporary artistic practices and new creations. Particular attention is given to works developed during the 1970s and 1980s, a period of remarkable experimentation that challenged conventional boundaries between musical composition and theatrical performance. In Portugal, this artistic movement was strongly influenced by the pioneering work of composer Constança Capdeville, whose interdisciplinary approach continues to inspire new generations of artists. By revisiting historical works and placing them in dialogue with contemporary creations, the Festival seeks to demonstrate the continuing vitality and relevance of music theatre.
