An animal between species, representative of hybridity and resistance, ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶 asserts itself as a symbol of recklessness, crossbreeding, and transgression. A collective body that insists. ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶 was born from the desire to create a weekend festival gathering, focusing on dance and its hybrid languages, crossing performative and sound practices, continuous readings, astral and oracular, as well as temporal, bodily, collective, and situated experiences. Intertwining spaces, people, and rhythms, ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶 affirms conviviality as an artistic and political practice, understanding the gathering as a place of listening, sharing, and transformation.

ℳ𝓊𝓁𝒶 proposes a temporary territory for experimentation and sharing, bringing together performances, concerts, workshops, readings, and meetings in different spaces throughout the city of Porto over the course of a weekend.

The first edition of Mula brings together seven independent spaces in the city of Porto — Hotelier, Mala Voadora, Ogi, Passos Manuel, Rampa, Sismógrafo, and Teatro de Ferro — and 22 artists in a celebration of the Spring Equinox.

On this day of the solar cycle, when the Sun shines directly on the Equator and day and night are in balance, through a journey through the daytime and nighttime hours, we focus our attention on the pleasures, encounters, possibilities, and affections that the bodies on stage produce and move.
