CCB - CCB CELEBRATES PORTUGUESE POETRY

WORLD POETRY DAY
CCB CELEBRATES PORTUGUESE POETRY

For the second year in a row, the CCB will host poetry and poets on the celebration of the World Poetry Day.

21 Mar 2009

ALL AUDIENCES

SEVERAL SPACES

FREE ENTRY

After the huge success of the first edition in 2008, which brought to the CCB more than two thousand people, the World Poetry Day 2009 programme - supported once more by the Plano Nacional de Leitura (Reading National Plan) - broadens the geographic horizons of the portuguese poetry: authors from Brazil, Angola, Cape Verde and Mozambique will gather their voices with their portuguese comrades, celebrating the idiom spoken and written by all of them.

Poets reading their own poetry and reading others poetry, spontaneous performances, workshops conceived for children and relatives, concerts exploring the relation between poetry and music, film documentaries showing the face and the voice of deceased poets, a book fair exclusively dedicated to portuguese speaking poets, a reading marathon and more, much more.

» WORKSHOP “OS POEMAS … SÃO O QUÊ, AFINAL?” (POETRY... WHAT IS IT ABOUT, AFTER ALL?)
MARIA HELENA VIEIRA DA SILVA ROOM 4:30 PM
7 YEARS AND UP
With BANDO DOS GAMBOZINOS
- Does poetry happens when words dance?
- It seems to me that poetry is the sound of words talking!
- I always thought that a poem was a song made with characters…
- Does poetry exist without words?
- Of course! When sounds rhyme, dance and speak.
The Gambozinos spend their life talking and playing about this things, hidden in their holes. Now they will do it in the daylight, with others, elder or younger, that sometimes also think: POETRY... WHAT IS IT ABOUT, AFTER ALL?

All of us have a beloved tree, where we can hide, schedule a date or just a place to return one day. All of us have dreamt with a life on a tree house. The Knowledge Tree could be an Acacia, an Almond Tree, an Oak, a Cypress, an Olive Tree, a Kian-Mu Tree, and Jo Tree, the Orient Islamic Olive Tree or the Syberian Birch Tree; We create a tree upside down, made of daily newspaper pages; on the floor there are seeds to hold on your hand, to water, and to let grow at the mercy of your creativity.
