This year's Portalblau Festival will take place from 18 March to 8 September and will include more than twenty proposals that will take place in different spaces in l'Escala and Empúries, such as the Mar d'en Manassa, l'Alfolí de la Sal, the Jardí Clos del Pastor, la Riba, Plaça Víctor Català, the Port de la Clota and the Roman Forum of the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia-Empúrias.
The 2024 edition of the festival presents a committed programme, covering a wide range of cultural projects and artistic disciplines, from music, theatre, poetry, conferences and workshops, to creation, training, literature, thought and photography. This programme includes a careful selection of concerts and activities that offer a perfect combination of emerging talent and renowned figures.
Portalblau also includes the "Mirades Blaves" lecture series, which provides an overview of various topics, from decolonisation and conflict in the Middle East to sustainability, art, culture, heritage and tourism. In collaboration with various entities and experts, the "Mirades Blaves" conferences will invite reflection on key issues affecting contemporary society from diverse and profound perspectives.
Portalblau: A Festival Committed to the Environment, Society and Culture
Portalblau stands out for its unique approach to the conception, organisation and presentation of the festival, making it a benchmark on the national festival circuit. Its cultural proposal stands out not only for its artistic excellence, but also for the design of activities it adds each year, promoting cultural accessibility, the formation of new audiences and support for emerging artists. Portalblau is an outstanding example by integrating the 2030 Agenda and promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through various initiatives.
The Values and Commitment Programme is the space devised by the festival, made up of various projects and actions aimed at enriching the community, fostering social and environmental awareness, and promoting positive and sustainable change in society. Portalblau is a vibrant manifestation of the human essence in all its diversity and richness. It is a living testimony to the commitment of individuals to culture, community and the environment, reflecting the best of our ability to connect, learn and grow together.
Through its cultural activities, training workshops and sustainable initiatives, Portalblau reminds us of the importance of solidarity, inclusion and cooperation in building a better world for all. It is more than an event; it is an inspiring reminder of the power of art and humanity to transform and enrich our lives and our environment.
Portalblau is a RADICALLY HUMAN Festival!
