The Azores, located between Portugal and New York, is home to the Tremor festival, co-founded by António Pedro Lopes in 2013 to revitalize Ponta Delgada amid economic and social crises. The festival has evolved from a 24-hour showcase to a broader platform impacting local communities, including the impoverished fishing village of Rabo de Peixe. Tremor promotes cultural richness and sustainability, celebrating its 12th anniversary this year with diverse performances. The festival emphasizes social responsibility and environmental care, aiming to create a positive impact on the islanders.
