InShadow
Lisbon Screendance Festival
InShadow - Lisbon Screendance Festival is an initiative of Vo'Arte and a reference in contemporary transdisciplinary artistic creation, with emphasis on the convergence of language between body and image, based on technology.
InShadow explores interdisciplinary atmospheres through aesthetic solutions and technical representation of body on screen, on stage and in other platforms. Genres and language intersect in video, performance, installations and exhibitions that present the vitality of a dialogue between established artists and emerging creators.
The program includes an international competition of videodance, documentaries and animation, performances, and a section for the youngsters, LittleShadow, workshops, masterclasses, as well as exhibitions and installations, that expand the Festival throughout the city.
InShadow promotes contemporary creations and imprints new crossovers and views in the city of Lisbon in connection with the world.
InShadow, body imagined within the shadow.
