alkantara focuses on the performing arts on a local and global level, seeking to further exchange between artists from different cultures and backgrounds. Besides presentation, it also develops artistic research and exchange projects, experimenting with new formats.
We hope to be instrumental in turning Lisbon into a bridge between cultures and a point of reference for the international performing arts scene.
The most visible and ambitious project is the alkantara festival, a multidisciplinary and intercultural festival, dedicated to the presentation of contemporary performing art from all over the world.
In between festival, the organization invests in artists' residencies in Portugal and abroad, the production of international arts projects and the realization of initiatives that aim to stimulate the debate on interculturalism at home and abroad.
