Multidisciplinary Concert
Music is Democracy: word, dialogue, and freedom. Inspired by the book collection Missão: Democracia and its themes, Beatriz Pessoa creates original songs that explore different styles and musical textures, revealing how music reflects diverse ways of thinking.
The songs are shared with the audience beforehand, forming during the concert what she calls «The Choir of Citizens». The performance transforms the theatre into an assembly, where music, musicians, and audience connect in a democratic dynamic. Everyone gathers in this musical plenary to conclude that, after all, the best thing is to preserve a space for exchanging ideas and listening to others.
Project created within the partnership between Centro Cultural de Belém / Fábrica das Artes and the Assembly of the Republic.
