Two Decades of Dedication to Culture and Arts
Situated in Faro, the Teatro das Figuras, the largest cultural facility in the Algarve, marked its 20th anniversary since its inauguration on July 1, 2005. This landmark project was born out of a vision to create a unique space in the region, offering both locals and visitors access to groundbreaking artistic productions and encounters with emerging artists.
A Legacy of Over 800,000 Spectators
Over the years, more than 800,000 spectators have enjoyed performances both within the theater and at events organized "outside its doors." The venue has hosted over 2,350 shows, spanning concerts, operas, dance performances, theater plays, children's events, exhibitions, film screenings, conferences, and talks.
Diverse Artistic Expressions
The theater has seen 300 theater plays featuring more than 1,000 actors, 700 concerts across various music genres, and nearly 400 dance shows that have captivated audiences, from classical ballet to contemporary dance.
Fostering Creativity and Partnerships
