Fausto Bordalo Dias
Event
“Atrás dos Tempos Vêm Tempos” is a song that Fausto first sang at “Madrugada dos Trapeiros”, in 1977, with the aroma of carnations still fresh in everyone's memory. Almost 20 years later, this title would be chosen for an anthology of his work. Now, it is used again as the title of a rare performance. It is not only rare because Fausto is parsimonious when it comes to stepping back on stage, he who always chose to be reserved rather than flamboyant, who always preferred absence to the limelight. It is rare because almost every time Fausto took his creations to the stage he did so with the idea that the present, and not the memory, was what deserved his attention. Usually, a concert meant the exploration of the latest work, the opportunity to exhibit live what had been so painstakingly created in the studio. The idea of “greatest hits” never found a great echo in his spirit. However, it is undeniable that in his 5 decades of an applauded career, the man who climbed a river, jumped beyond the mountain ranges, stepped on burning ground and climbed mountains, left many milestones in his path. It will be from these milestones that this new performance will take place, at Casa da Música and in a world that is already expected to be different.
