fimp’23’s programme, in its plurality, articulates possible combinations between these concepts. The subjective experience of life happening in a world that is always in motion has inspired the creation of some of the shows that will be presented. Remembering and forgetting, evoking and reconstructing, updating – all of these are memory functions that operate based on the creation and manipulation of images. At this year’s festival, it is also in the encounter of each one of us with History, as a process of social and political transformation, that we are questioned. In this multiplicity of creative acts in which image and manipulation meet, we will have films created in real time, smoke and mirror illusions, manipulation of sensitive documents, performative games based on individual and collective biographies, stage machines, digital and analogue puppets. At fimp’23 there will be shows (including many a world premiere), performances, exhibitions, concerts, meetings, and celebrations. There will be much to discover, much that will surprise us, much to see and experience! fimp is a feast that always offers festival-goers something interesting to learn, whether they are performing arts professionals or just curious. At this year’s fimp, the training strand is set to last well beyond the festival dates, while allowing, of course, for the chance to meet some of the artists featured in the festival and to come into contact with their work. fimp'23 - Festival Internacional de Marionetas do Porto 2023 - from 6 - 15 October + 5 November, will host seventeen shows by Portuguese and foreign companies, a concert, a short film, three masterclasses, four WOPs - workshops, two WIPs - Work in Progress, two exhibitions and looooooots of Fimpalitos, all of which will take place in twelve well-known venues in the city of Porto. But there's more! Beyond the geographical limits of the city of Porto, we reiterate our partnership with Teatro Municipal de Matosinhos Constantino Nery / Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos and, for the first time, with Teatro Aveirense and Câmara Municipal de Aveiro, to whom we extend a warm welcome.
