reveals our culture’s identity, strengthening its position in the
country, but also on the international scene”, says Ricardo.
Must see events!
A nomeação de Capital Europeia da Cultura veio trazer um novo fôlego à cidade.
The La Fura dels Baus show kicked off a number of cultural
events which promise to shake up Guimarães throughout the
year. Domingos was completely sold on the project from the
word go. “It was fabulous!” he told COOL, insisting that wild
horses won’t keep him away from the rest of the year’s events,
unless of course he’s really can’t because of work, for example.
Ricardo particularly enjoyed the electronic music events
‘Guimarães Noc Noc’, ‘Mi Case Es Tu Casa’ and ‘New Boundaries’,
and has already jotted down the next shows he doesn’t want to
miss in his diary: Performance Architecture, June 16th to July
29, at the CAAA (The Centre for Arts & Architectural Affairs);
Festival GMR 360º, until July 1st, at Monte da Penha, and Pat
Metheny Unity Band, July 21st, at the Arts Platform.
Whether you take a leaf out of Ricardo’s and Domingos’s diary
or plan out your own programme, the important thing is to visit
Guimarães in 2012 and “be a part of it!”
Guimarães’ nomination as the European Capital of Culture is bringing a new lease of life to the city.
