The Harmonia Festival arrives at its fourth edition at Parque das Figueiras, in Lagoa, from Friday to Sunday, with free admission. The event has the six Brazilian biomes — Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Pampa and Pantanal — as its curatorial axis, which guide a reading of Brazil through the cultures, ways of life, flavors, sounds and expressions of each territory. The program includes shows with artists such as Roberta Sá, Leoni, Serjão Loroza, Rafael Sperduto, Toquinho and Camila Faustino, as well as cultural performances, cooking classes, culinary islands with guest chefs, music and art workshops, a small producers' market and educational activities.
Peter Sloterdijk, one of the most influential contemporary philosophers, is the guest on the new episode of Expresso's philosophy podcast, where he reflects on the relationship between magic, technology, and war. The German philosopher argues that the mechanisms that shape the modern world are a rationalised continuation of ancient magical impulses, and explores the concept of "telemalignity" to analyse how the capacity to act at a distance defines the human experience in the age of drones, missiles, and global technologies. The conversation was recorded live in English, in Cascais.
The medieval town of Ourém hosts between September 4th and 6th the festival "Fins de Tarde da Vila Medieval", featuring ten free-entry concerts with performances by national artists such as Lula Pena, PAUS and Rita Vian, transforming the space into an open-air stage dedicated to music.
The beer festival is back in Coimbra, promising a great party dedicated to the drink. The event returns to the city with various activities, gastronomic experiences and lots of entertainment for beer lovers.
The Motorfestival at Caramulo, which takes place in September, expects to receive more than 50,000 visitors, with the participation of more than 1,700 cars, motorcycles and aircraft at the event.
