Festival for contemporary circus and artistic creation for unconventional spaces

LEME returns to Ílhavo, Portugal, from 4 to 7 December for its seventh edition, delving into the possibilities of contemporary circus and artistic creation in unconventional spaces. In 2025, the festival immerses itself in the dichotomy between tradition and illusion - a clear boundary that often becomes blurred—challenging perceptions and unveiling new artistic dimensions. With an innovative programme, LEME continues to transform territories and inspire audiences through bold narratives and immersive experiences.

Emerging artistic creation, European trends, and innovation remain strategic pillars of this edition, reaffirming LEME’s role as a catalyst for transformative dialogues within the sector. LEME PRO also returns, reinforcing its commitment to reflection and debate on the present and future of these artistic domains, fostering connections among professionals, artists, and audiences shaping the new directions of contemporary art.
