All Tomorrow’s Parties
Ages: 6+
Free entry, subject to venue capacity
Event
“All Tomorrow’s Parties” is a curatorial project by the SillySeason collective, launched in 2020 in Lisbon out of a need to support emerging artists. Now in its 6th edition, the 2025 programme will spotlight six artists based in the northern region of Portugal, united by a common desire for urgent and free experimentation. Over the course of 13 days, these artists will occupy the Candoso Creation Centre and Espaço Oficina, creating diverse artistic objects shaped by increasingly conscious, political, and independent discourse.
SillySeason—together with Teatro Oficina and Centro Cultural Vila Flor—aims to provide space, visibility, and production resources, supporting a type of artistic thought considered urgent, while offering platforms for varied and underrepresented forms of expression. Each artist will receive a creation grant and access to research and presentation spaces.
“All Tomorrow’s Parties” is a long-form performance comprised of multiple voices eager to reflect and inscribe themselves in an ever-accelerating tomorrow, while rejecting institutionalized power structures.
OPEN CALL
September 15–28
Target applicants > Open to individual artists and students from arts schools in the fields of theatre, dance, performance, cinema, music, and visual arts, aged over 18 and residing in the northern region of the country, regardless of nationality.

Selected projects > This initiative requires the 6 selected artists to take part in an artistic residency in Guimarães from December 8 to 18, followed by two informal presentations on December 19 and 20 at Espaço Oficina, as part of the 6th edition of the curatorial program All Tomorrow’s Parties. These presentations will be open to the community.
