Semibreve Festival

Main Room

The 16th edition of Semibreve takes place from October 22 to 25, with its customary stop at Theatro Circo. Organized since 2011 by AUAUFEIOMAU, with support from the City of Braga, this electronic music and digital art festival is regarded as one of the most important of its kind in Europe and one of the most interesting in the world. Since its inception, it has presented an innovative and diverse program, highlighting the work of artists who are not afraid to take risks, venture into new worlds, and explore the unknown.

Considered an essential platform for celebrating digital art and promoting exploratory electronic music throughout northern Portugal, Semibreve’s program features workshops, commissioned artworks, installations, and performances spread across various historically and culturally significant venues in Braga, such as the Igreja dos Congregados, the Capela Imaculada, the Theatro Circo, and gnration. For its 16th edition, Theatro Circo will host artists such as Nuno Canavarro & Bruno Miguel Pinto/Radiant Rift, Malcolm Pardon & Gustaf Broms, PYUR & Tarik Barri, Sam Slater & Guests, Qasim Naqvi & Steven Wendt, and Fennesz & Oscar Jockel.
