“In fact, the public is flocking in a very meaningful way,” considered the director, emphasizing that, about to “go through puberty,” the Serralves in Festa has grown to “multiply almost four ‘the flow of visitors that went from” 40,000 people in the first edition, to 140,000 in 2014. “
More relevant to Odete Patrick, is that “the Serralves em Festa opened the park to the community, demystified the way to Serralves, made it easy” over the dozen editions in the event to bet on the mission of “educating for art.”
Among trees and music, through performance of various branches of contemporary art, who walks the roads of Serralves gardens in Fiesta is almost always confronted with artists that have never heard of.
Setting a festival to an audience of several classes and ages is to Pedro Rocha, music programmer Serralves em Festa, “a huge challenge”, but that does not imply concessions the level popularity of the musical selection, or “concessions to the level of work” that Serralves usually has.
“We always try to maintain a line of programming that is consistent with what we do during the year,” said Pedro Rocha , pointing out the “experimental vein” of the musical selection, which is accompanied by “proposals designed to please but also to arouse curiosity” of the public to new art forms.
For the musical director, part of the allure of Serralves em Festa lies in “opening people to come in an expectation to see what you do not know or see during the year” in the context of contemporary art.
