LINHA DE FUGA – International Laboratory For Artistic Creation 2018
About
LINHA DE FUGA is a laboratory and international performing arts festival which will take place from November 10th to December 1st 2018, in Coimbra, Portugal. Beyond the dimension of the Festival open to the public, with the presentation of shows in various places of the city, LINHA DE FUGA develops a laboratory that intends to promote the encounter between national and foreign artists for the exchange of artistic practices. The Laboratory will bring together 20 arts professionals (theater, dance, video, music, writing, …) who are interested in confronting their projects and their practices with those of the invited artists and their peers. Participants are selected by an international open call. Each participant is challenged to share a work in progress (which may be at different stages of development) that will be their object of study in practical seminars.
