Professional facilities for the performing arts: rooms to create and rehearse, a Black Box to perform in, and a place where artists and neighbours meet.
About PAZ
PAZ — Performance Arts Zone opened its doors in Bonfim to give the performing arts what they lack most in the city: space, time and technical conditions.
We have hosted theatre, dance, puppetry, concerts, stand-up, exhibitions, festivals, dances, talks and workshops for all ages. Companies and independent artists rehearse here, there are regular classes and, every other week, the local farm boxes arrive.
We stand for shared resources and cultural sustainability: a space that works because many people use it.
What's on
An exhibition by Pedro Santasmarinas
Figures that lived for years on restaurant napkins and scraps of paper finally gain permanence. Monsters in search of identity, affection or belonging, between the grotesque and the vulnerable.
Karl A. Rozankovic × Clothilde Fricot Mugnerot
Music and image created at the same time, with no score. Prepared piano and live samples on one side; on the other, pigments and fluids filmed in macro and projected on a large scale.
Applications until 22 November
Got an idea in a drawer? We are looking for works in progress of up to 15 minutes: theatre, dance, music, puppetry, poetry, stand-up, circus, performance.
