Imaginarius Festival of performing arts in public spaceSanta Maria da Feira, Portugal 21-23 May 2026.
Imaginarius is emotion, surprise, doubt, and discovery. It is a space where new questions emerge, where thought becomes freer, more attentive, more curious. It is where a voice is given to what transforms generations, without any urgency to become consensus. Imaginarius does not claim to be a solution to the world’s problems. It seeks to create the conditions to recognise them, to question them, and to imagine other possible futures, aware that imagining implies choosing, taking risks, and, at times, leaving behind what no longer responds to the present.
The Festival Programme includes exceptional Irish talent. Look out for their shows, including Runners and Tri Fabrica.
Cultural professionals (artists, programmers, curators, managers, students, and other profiles connected to artistic creation and programming) are invited to experience the festival in a closer and more engaged way by registering for the PRO section. This programme offers a more immersive perspective on Imaginarius, grounded in professional exchange and shared practice.
PRO registration is free of charge and grants access to the PRO activities and the conference, as well as to the PRO space, a dedicated area designed for meeting, talk, and connection between professionals and artists featured in the programme. Participants also benefit from early access to the database of registered professionals, facilitating advanced contact and the scheduling of meetings, and are integrated into a dedicated digital community that supports networking moments throughout the festival.
