Kathanika Back to India - Theatre
The figure of the storyteller, that with his presence on stage has accompanied us in more than one of the creations presented on stage in recent years, is again present in this show.
This time, we went to the Indian continent to search for some traditional tales. Thus was born Kathanika, which in Sanskrit also means storyteller.
Our "Storyteller / Kathanika" is the actress Anabela Nóbrega, who will undertake a wonderful journey, not only through the tales, but also through the magic of the dances and the sounds of Indian music. Using her training in Indian classical dance, oriented by Kajal Ratanji, the actress, who is also the author of the choreographies, transforms her interpretation into an enchanting act, by operating a conjunction of the two corporal languages, so that the word emerges from within the movement that is specific to Indian music.
The scenic space of the show - Kathanika - back to India - takes us to a patio, which is configured as a space "in between". Between the house, an interior space, and the street, an imminently public space. A place of exchange, where one can receive and also offer. A place where our "storyteller" settles in, waiting for all those who seek the encounter, the surprise and the complicity with the Other. And the best he has to offer each spectator...

"Sneakers - Portuguese Brands from the New State to the Turn of the Millennium" - Exhibition
“Sneakers: Portuguese Brands from the New State to the Turn of the Millennium” is the exhibition that opened on February 11, 2023, at Casa do Design, in Matosinhos.
At a time when sneakers gain a global dimension as one of the icons of contemporary culture, Casa do Design inaugurates this exhibition curated by Pedro Carvalho de Almeida, to show part of the legacy of the national sports footwear industry.
Starting from a unique collection of more than 500 sneaker models representing a universe of 100 brands designed and manufactured in Portugal, this exhibition explores the cultural, social, political and economic significance that the brands represent. A brief historical context is proposed, an in-depth reading of the Sanjo and Cortebel brands, but above all the revelation of a surprising collection of other brands characterized by small series, models for different sports practices and the respective packaging.
The result of a co-production between the Municipality of Matosinhos / esad—idea, Research in Design and Art and the Institute for Research in Design Media and Culture (ID+), the exhibition simultaneously proposes a historical retrospective and a space for critical reflection, seeking to know how the memory of nationally made sneakers can be rescued, understood and preserved, and how the productive resources we have access to, material and immaterial, can be better used and creatively leveraged.
Between March and June, the role of the designer as a collector, the connections between design, industry and handicrafts, as well as the challenges and opportunities in sustainable development, are discussed.
Upcoming conversations:
April 22, Saturday, 3:30 pm–5:00 pm – Design and Crafts
May 27th, Saturday, 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm – Design and Industry
June 17th, Saturday, 3:30 pm–5:00 pm – Towards an Ecology of Design
