AdA, Festival in action, will happen in Porto, Portugal between 9th and 13th of April 2008.

By its conception, this event will be opened in different views:

- Opened to different forms of art expression, because the presented actions are showing different approaches to performance,   through dance, theatre, music and visual arts;

- Opened towards the informal audience, because most of the actions will happen in public spaces as streets, squares, parks   and beaches, all of them for free and many of them involving public to participate;

- Opened to new ideas and new medias, because we believe in art as a universal language in a permanent progress and   performance is a language allowing us to express our ideas more immediately;

- Opened to the world, because the participants of the festival are coming from different European countries, as Austria,   France, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey and the next editions of AdA festival will take place in these,   or another countries.

- And opened to constructive and critical thinking: by remembering the history, mapping present and thinking about future forms   of performance and about its impacts to society. That is, why the conference PAST/ACTION/CUT! will be part of AdA festival.

We would like to invite you for a journey, exploring city of Porto through a site-specific actions and finishing in cultural space Plano B with interior interventions and good music.
