THE FESTIVAL

 

Talu Productions reaches the 7th season of FESTLIP - International Theatre Festival of the Portuguese Language, which takes place in the city of Rio de Janeiro, from  August, 26th to September, 6th, 2015, celebrating the 450th anniversary of the city.

 

FESTLIP makes us get to know, respect and admire the diversity of our language by the most breathtaking destination that can exist: the Art. It is with such freedom that, year after year, we renew over multiple looks and design an airy way to continue the history we have been tracing. It is with such integration that we are able to host this great PARTY, which annually brings together this artistic movement of the 4 continents, which hosts the 9 official Portuguese speaking countries. It is with such commotion that we invade neighborhoods, communities, streets and minds, to think together about the common language. This strong link reports a lot of our culture to the world.

 

Accounting for 80% of Portuguese speakers, Brazil opens its doors to this occupation with Angola, Portugal, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, Timor-Leste and Equatorial Guinea. "Language Friends" are not left out, and to celebrate the 450th anniversary of Rio de Janeiro, Galicia, representing Spain, sits with us at this huge table.
