This Blackout edition, which has as its topic "Resonances—The Sound of Light," honours the combination of sound, music, light, and stage design, positioning itself as a meeting point between technique and art, between perception and emotion. "Resonance" represents the creative echo that reverberates between the audience and the stage, between art and training, and between the present and the future.

The event, which is organised by the Course of Light within the Theatre Department of the School of Music and Performing Arts - Polytechnic Institute of Porto, explores the complex relationships between artists, students, and the audience by fostering a dialogue between light that makes itself heard and sound that illuminates.

The Blackout is an immersive experience that challenges disciplinary boundaries, highlighting experimentation and innovation in the fields of lighting, sound, performance, and technology.
