SCHOOL OF LABYRINTHS: 21 – 22 November 2025, Culturgest (Lisboa)

Workshop–Installation–Performance “The City Without Doors and Windows”
For children aged 6 to 10

In this labyrinth-city—an architecture already born as a ruin—children were invited to discover pathways, sounds, shadows, imaginary animals, dancing words and drawings inhabiting the space.

Working in small groups, participants explored different layers of this city through a series of workshop-based and performative devices, engaging with drawing, sound, architecture and poetry. They were encouraged both to fly above it and to dive into its smallest, most microscopic materials and details.

The installation was activated as a living territory, continuously transformed through collective action.
