Hosted in one of Lisbon's great palaces, the home to the contemporary arts organisation Carpe Diem Arte e Pesquisa, the evening will showcase the very best of Portugal's creative talent alonside artistic interventions from UK artists Scottee and Brian Lobel.
Scottee is an artist and broadcaster from Kentish Town, North London.
He is a regular contributor for BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends, Huffington Post and i-D magazine. Scottee is currently an associate artist at Olivier award winning company Duckie and the iconic Roundhouse.
Scottee is not easily definable; broken limbs, sequin jumpsuits, a big heart, a strong head and piles of fake eyelashes. There's no doubting he has a determination to please his audiences with his brash, clumsy and provocative approach to art, performance and light entertainment.
He'll leave you elated, sometimes tearful, confused & often covered in confetti.
