"Supernovae" is the plural form of the Latin word "supernova," which refers to the explosive death of a star. In any language where it is used, especially in scientific contexts, "supernovae" describes multiple instances of these stellar explosions. The term is derived from "super-" (meaning "above" or "beyond") and "nova" (meaning "new"), reflecting the sudden appearance of a bright, new object in the sky when a star explodes.
Presentation of the artistic consultancy platform specialising in contemporary performing arts, Supernovae, dedicated to accompanying all the implementation phases of cultural initiatives at an international level. It is a project born out of collaboration and the care taken to materialise a shared curatorship from two countries, Spain and Portugal. Founded by artistic directors Cristina Planas Leitão (PT) and Natalia Álvarez Simó (ES) and with extensive experience in the institutional field, Supernovae works from creating strategic visions and conceptual frameworks to curating programmes, searching for talent and redefining artistic narratives.
