A free show that involves 100 inhabitants of Porto and reveals the city's demographic data are the motto to celebrating the 87th anniversary of Theatre Rivoli, on 19 and 20 January. This show was jointly produced by the Swiss-German Collective Rimini Protokoll.

"We continue to make important investments in companies and artists of the city of Porto, whose work is a national benchmark when it comes to contemporary production. We also bet on distinctive projects and in international companies".

Between March and July, Porto Municipal Theatre will host 58 shows and the relatively young but already a sure value, the DDD festival, Days of the Dance, and the FITEI, the International Theatre Festival of the Iberian Peninsula will present a joint programming making the city of Porto a must visit for all audiences, both at national and at European level.

"For the first time, the city Theatre celebrates its anniversary during two full days", as highlighted by the Mayor of Porto. These shows are entrance free, on 19 and 20 January, featuring dance, theatre, music and literature, under the motto "100% Porto".

"This show, similarly to 100% Tokyo or London, will be about Porto, like a radiography technique like that shows the people that inhabit the city", concluded Tiago Guedes.
