SillySeason
ALL TOMORROWS PARTIES – 2nd Edition
Curated programme by SILLYSEASON at Rua das Gaivotas 6
Friday • -
Booking: Free entrance
The second edition of SillySeason’s curatorial project ALL TOMORROWS PARTIES embraces four artists of different disciplines who share the urge of experimenting freely. For ten days, the artists will be welcomed by Rua das Gaivotas6, in Lisbon, where they will be able to develop their artistic objects and work on the path to an increasingly aware, politicized and independent discourse. Aiming to promote a new critical thought that embodies and includes different languages, SillySeason proposal is to offer the artists a temporary workspace, visibility and additional conditions that favor their creative processes. Refusing the usual lack of support faced by artists whose work is more experimental and often sidelined, all four artists were offered monetary creation grants for their participations.
ALL TOMORROWS PARTIES is then an expanded performance involving different standpoints and issues that refuse both institutional logics and sources of power.

SillySeason is a collective of artists (Cátia Tomé, Ivo Saraiva e Silva and Ricardo Teixeira) that, since 2012, allows itself to re-think about theater and performing arts, in a constant search for new creative models. They try to contribute to the production and deepening of new dramaturgies, in a constant reflection about what is theater or what can it be. They promote the construction of objects that challenge the usual logical configuration for a structure that speculates the multifaceted spectacle. Their work is based mainly on the notion of crisis, demystifying it, and proposing new dimensions of history and politics, trying to solidify an increasingly urgent discourse about the future. Along its path, SillySeason have been working through collaboration and in a network, getting in touch with different artists from different areas, with different structures and different institutions.
The Collective SillySeason is a structure financed by the General Directorate of Arts – Portuguese Republic.
