Quintas de Leitura

Unrest takes over the stage at Campo Alegre, where six unsettling, detonating voices from different generations come together: Fernando Pessoa, José Saramago, António José Forte, Luiza Neto Jorge, Adília Lopes and José Miguel Silva. Writer and editor Rui Manuel Amaral discusses the session’s poetic universe and comments on some of the chosen texts—an unfettered presentation with no safety net. On screen, the incendiary images of Alex Gozblau interact with the readings by actresses Teresa Coutinho and Crista Alfaiate, and also by poet, songwriter and the Mão Morta band lead singer Adolfo Luxúria Canibal. In-between readings, an unusual new circus act performed by the Radar 360° company. The session will start with the magic sound of pianist, composer and poet João Paulo Esteves da Silva. And as if it were not enough, we announce the presence of Lobos de Barro [Clay Wolfs], a brand new project joining Valter Lobo [Wolf] (voice, guitar, lyrics) and André Lobo (piano, keyboard, programming).
