Held annually since 2016, DDD - Festival Dias da Dança is an international contemporary dance festival organised by the Performing Arts Directorate of Ágora - Cultura e Desporto do Porto, E.M., in collaboration with the Municipalities of Gaia and Matosinhos.
In 2025, DDD also has programming and presentation partnerships with the Serralves Foundation, balleteatro, Palácio do Bolhão, CRL - Central Elétrica, Mindelact and mala voadora.
Its programme - performances, workshops, talks and parties - demonstrates the aesthetic and thematic diversity of contemporary dance, opening up to the idea of expanded choreography and defending the great contribution of artistic creation to today's society.
The festival has established itself as a solid national and international co-producer, under a logic of sustainability, promoting touring and co-presentation partnerships.
Since 2020, BPI and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation have been sponsors of the festival.
