This is a program developed by Linha de Fuga, in collaboration with LIPA/TAGV, through conversations with artists about their journeys, with the aim of humanizing artistic creation and showing all the work, doubts, and questions that an artist faces when creating.

In 2025, the parallel talk series to the Linha de Fuga Festival returned under the name “Vulnerable Conversations”, creating a space for dialogue around the theme of friendship, where the only guiding principles are vulnerability and active listening.

During October and November 2024, Linha de Fuga presented a series of conversations, integrated into the programming of the festival and laboratory. Our aim was to reflect together, foster the intersection between scientific and artistic research, and spark conversations and activations across different spaces in Coimbra.
In an invitation to the Masculinities.pt Observatory at CES and Catarina Silva (from the former collective Mundus), several conversations led us to reflect on what we are afraid of — and why.

Body|Territory training
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam quis felis sagittis, pulvinar nisi eu, consequat nibh. Quisque varius purus quis velit ultricies, nec blandit odio pretium. Ut imperdiet tristique urna quis ornare. Maecenas dictum arcu eu aliquet mollis. Ut feugiat ac nisl sit amet semper. Cras dignissim efficitur interdum.

Body|Territory is a training program led by national and international artists who share their creative practices and methodologies, offering a broad and diverse perspective on what artistic creation can be.
This is a program that positions itself as an “undisciplined” training space, grounded in the exchange of creative practices, encounters, and experimentation. Participants have the opportunity to engage in collective moments, revisit their own practices, and come into contact with other professionals and approaches to creation, particularly within the fields of dance and the body.
It is aimed at creators, dancers, choreographers, and all performing arts artists (dance, theatre, circus, performance), whether professionals or aspiring to be, who are based in Coimbra or the surrounding region and who see the body as an essential tool in the development of their work; the body as an entity that can be expanded through different perspectives and that plays a central role in the dramaturgy of their creations.

Bosque/Woods
Bosque/Woods is a piece that serves as an artistic appeal to environmental awareness. It is a research project that brings together dance and visual arts to create a unique landscape in the cities, exploring the idea of impermanence and instability of the body, nature, climate, and collective practices. It is a large-scale outdoor performance that involves the local community to make a strong and impactful statement. Upside down, the body inverts the space and questions time. How long can the body resist? How long can the forest resist?

RESTLESS CONVERSATIONS: Can care be subversive?
After a year in which the most heard words were Covid-19 and pandemic, we considered it was important to focus the 2022 edition on the Ethics of Care. By bringing this theme into discussion, we aimed to draw attention to the situations of vulnerability that exist in the world and the inequalities they can cause in interpersonal relationships.This is how the first activity of the festival came about: Restless Conversations, which began taking place monthly at Rádio Baixa. In a joint effort between activism and theory, in a space where music was an act of public space occupation, we issued a call for collaboration to the Center for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra, the Mundus collective, and Rádio Baixa. Together, we promoted a series of conversations about "care" in relation to the living agents of the city and the festival's programming.
