Trilhas
- Other Gatherings
Trilhas is a public programme by Alkantara Festival. Each year, we invite people closely connected to contemporary artistic creation to guide participants along singular pathways. Each guide brings groups of people – either members of existing communities or people coming together to form a temporary community – on their chosen pathway and into Lisbon’s performance venues, where they can deepen, collectively, the pleasure of watching performances and discussing them.
