The fifth cycle of Simultaneous Openings at Miguel Bombarda District 2017 is set for Saturday afternoon, 23 September.
As usual, street performances and guided tours will announce the new shows and exhibits promoted by Porto Lazer.
Eighteen contemporary art galleries will open doors, starting at 4 pm to display new works of art and new shows.
Out on the streets it's the comeback of Bombarda Stop & Go, an initiative that offers two free guided tours through some galleries of the Bombarda quarter.
These guided visits have a limited number of participants - 30 - and are conducted by Visual Arts and Technologies' students of the Superior School of Education in Porto.
Those interested in participating should register via email stopandgo@portolazer.pt (deadline is 1 pm of 22 September), and there are two different schedules available: 4 pm or 5, 30 pm.
The second guided tour allows registration on Saturday, 23 September, at 4 pm, at the Porto. stand, located in the pedestrian area of Miguel Bombarda Street.
Also, between 5 and 5, 30 pm and repeating at 6, 30 pm and 7 pm, the audience will have the opportunity to watch the performance "Body In Between", the fifth of six shows that compose "The Fractal Body". This artistic project combines minimal dance and physical theatre, directed by Paulina Almeida.
Simultaneous Openings of Miguel Bombarda Quarter are jointly organised by Porto City Hall and Bombarda Art District Association.
