The BIG BANG Festival is an exciting journey of shared discovery, for children and adults alike. Through this project that began in 2010, CCB/Fábrica das Artes has created a space where Portuguese and foreign artists can develop new approaches to music for children and see their work recognised not only in their own country, but all across Europe.
This festival is based on an initiative developed by Zonzo Compagnie and is designed to create a platform where composers, musicians and performers can meet one another, stimulating participants to contribute to the production and presentation of non-commercial music for children.
A production by Zonzo Compagnie in coproduction with Centro Cultural de Belém - with the support of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
