MOCHILA - International Theatre Festival for Children and Youth

About

MOCHILA - International Theatre Festival for Children and Youth is dedicated to the performing arts, promoted by LAMA Teatro in Faro, Portugal. The choice of the Algarve region aims to contribute to the decentralisation of a diverse, high-quality cultural offering and to the democratisation of access to culture, developing critical thinking about the contemporary world through the empowerment of its audience and local communities, occupying cultural facilities and public spaces across the city under artistic director João de Brito. MOCHILA offers an annual programme of quality theatre, presenting performances from renowned Portuguese companies and emerging artists across various disciplines, enriched by artists from across Europe. The programming spans ages from the very young to young adults, extending to the general public through connections with parents, educators and teachers, promoting exchange among participants from different backgrounds across the city.
