The Mimo is much more than a festival, but it lacks a word that can define it, perhaps that "Mimo" is a word that is enough. It began in 2004 in Olinda churches in Brazil, the cities crossed, landed in Rio de Janeiro in 2015 and a year later crossed the Atlantic and emptied into the Tâmega. Amarante was his Portuguese cradle. "Why not Amaranth?" Is the response of Lu Araújo, curator and general manager of MIMO, when […] questioned about the location chosen for Mimo Luso. "Introduced" to Amarante by a friend, Lu Araújo found the "beautiful city, with a rich cultural and patrimonial very symbolic and with a unique welcome". Landmark of important references to Portuguese culture, known for its gastronomy, confectionery and green wine, the city of Amadeo Souza-Cardoso and Teixeira de Pascoaes is "the ideal place for MIMO". The idea of "building a festival of roots, a festival in a small town, a festival in a city without traditions of big events" was a challenge for Lu and, today, a winning bet.
a festival that extends across the city, which "occupies" its most beautiful landscape, which gives it life and which is made of landscapes, art and of people, Amarante, S. Gonçalo Church, S. Pedro Church The S. Domingos Church, the S. Gonçalo Bridge, the Tâmega River, among others, are the "enclosures" of an innovative, groundbreaking festival free, inclusive and culturally enriching.
MIMO alia music, cinema, poetry, education and art, in a "high-level Festival, at the forefront of music, with innovative artistic proposals." "The uniqueness of a festival that goes against the established order."
The question of Lu Araujo is simple: "Do people want to pay to go into the closed rooms always see the same kind of show?" The answer was lost in the air, or maybe it was a matter of rhetoric. MIMO is sure to be a "place of difference, betting on novelty and quality and the desire to grow, renew itself, rebuild itself" each year
