The II Tapajós Theater Festival will take place from March 16 to 22 at the Ufopa campus in Santarém, following a venue change due to renovations at the previous location.
The II Tapajós Theater Festival is set to occur from March 16 to 22, 2023, at the Wilson Fonseca Auditorium on the Rondon campus of Ufopa in Santarém, western Pará, Brazil. This year’s festival has a new location because the Casa da Cultura, which hosted the previous edition, will undergo renovations. Despite the change in venue, the festival's programming remains intact, ensuring that the rich cultural engagement continues in the community.
Elizângela Dezincourt, the festival coordinator, expressed enthusiasm for the new location, highlighting the importance of the Casa da Cultura as a cultural heart for Santarém and emphasizing that the venue will undergo a much-needed facelift to serve the arts for many years to come. The festival is expected to feature performances by various theater groups from Pará, enriching the local cultural landscape and providing opportunities for artistic expression and collaboration.
With an exciting lineup planned for the festival week, the community and visitors alike can look forward to a diverse array of theatrical performances that celebrate local talent and creativity. The event not only promotes the arts but also reinforces the connection between the university and the local community, fostering a vibrant cultural scene in Santarém and beyond.
