SUMMARY:Ti Chitas – The Voice that is a Mountain Orquestra Barroca D’Aquém Mar
DESCRIPTION:Opera + Conversation – Premiere \nThis is an opera about the voice — the voice as memory\, as a boundary between the public and private spheres\, between spaces of intimacy and social connection. It tells the story of Catarina Sargenta\, known as “Ti Chitas” (1913–2003): shepherd\, singer\, and adufe player. Born in Penha Garcia\, in the municipality of Idanha-a-Nova\, her musical artistry and creativity were documented through numerous phonographic and cinematic records. \n  \nIn this performance\, strobe lighting is used. \n

The starting point is the oral tradition of adufe playing and singing from the region of Idanha-a-Nova\, the homeland of Ti Chitas.

SUMMARY:The Truth About Lies
DESCRIPTION:Not wanting to be deceived by lies and seeking the truth is the condition in which every human being finds themselves. There is a constant pressure — 24 hours a day\, seven days a week — to escape falsehood and grasp the truth. Typically\, we believe we are on the side of truth and that we speak truthfully. Yet do we not succumb to lies? The contemporary context brings the question of falsehood into focus with almost pandemic intensity. The spread of disinformation — through deepfakes\, algorithms and bots — has become a need that companies such as Cambridge Analytica\, as well as certain states\, have stepped in to fulfil. Disinformation can sway elections and undermine trust in democracy.  This journey of ours explores the intricate relationship between truth\, falsehood and our perception of reality. It examines classical and contemporary philosophical concepts in the complex contexts of both personal and collective life. The effort to understand the effectiveness of lies and the deactivation of truth is not new. It is as ancient as the very emergence of humanity. To overcome the state of denial in which we often find ourselves — especially concerning illusions and self-deceptions — is a necessary condition for the discovery of truth. At times\, we are deceived by lies\, and at other times\, even by truth itself. Yet are we not also responsible for spreading them? And is it not often another who tells us the truths we fail to see in ourselves

SUMMARY:A Full Being Here
DESCRIPTION:«If I can’t dance in your revolution\, I’m not coming.»\nEmma Goldman \n  \nA Full Being Here (Um Estar Aqui Cheio) is a 2001 piece that was performed in only three venues. Twenty-five years after its premiere\, it is presented for the first time in Lisbon\, at the Centro Cultural de Belém\, with virtually the entire original cast\, joined by a new performer. \nThe work is part of a singular artistic journey in which dance intersects with philosophy\, poetry\, music\, and performance. Vera Mantero proposes a sensory and reflective experience that defies categories: it is dance\, installation\, spoken word\, lucid delirium. The piece unfolds from a raw\, instinctive presence where body and word become matter for thought and emotion. \n  \nPost-performance conversation with the artists and Vera Santos.
