Alex D’Alva Teixeira: A Multifaceted Artist Curates LuxFrágil's Next Big Night

Alex D’Alva Teixeira, a versatile artist known for his work in music, DJing, singing, design, acting, and fashion, is set to curate the next event in the 18h às 02h cycle at LuxFrágil on July 31. "I was surprised by the invitation and ended up inviting people I've been closest to in the festival context and with whom I've recently experienced Lisbon's nightlife," he shares.

A Night of Music and Art

• The evening kicks off with Sónia Trópicos joining Alex on the terrace for a musical session.
• Followed by a unique concert by Larie and Surma, featuring guest artists, presenting a second version of a show commissioned by the A Porta festival.
• The night concludes with DJ sets by Umafricana and Banu at the bar cabin.

Alex reflects on LuxFrágil's significance, "It's Lisbon's most iconic nightlife venue. All the international artists I admire end up there. At first, I doubted my ability to meet the challenge, but then I realized how cool it was to be invited to bring my vision to that space."
