A greve dos controladores de voo
Event
Five years later, an important voice of Portuguese poetry - Jorge Sousa Braga returns to this poetry series. The poet explains the universe of this evening: “Poets write or fly without any control. By nose diving, gliding, flapping the wings they do not have. Sometimes, they cannot withstand the weight of everyday life and come crashing down. Poets are the first ones to endorse the air traffic controllers' strike. Or their inexistence. Wingless poetry is not poetry.” In a brief introduction, Carlos Mendes de Sousa fires “My most accurate pollen bullet to Jorge Sousa Braga”. In the voices of Cristiana Sabino, Odete Môsso, Paula Cortes and José Anjos, we will cover the work of Jorge Sousa Braga, highlighting some poems from his most recent book “A Matéria Escura”. Between readings, an opportunity to surprise us by the project “O Xú”, spontaneous music by Rui Oliveira and Bitocas Fernandes. Featuring a body music, predominantly voice. Harmonies, rhythms and melodies in search of a meaning that unite audience and musicians in a single body. Avelino Sá is the author of the session’s image. The quiet and incendiary search for words within painting and drawing. The sound of astonishment. Special participation by the magician Gonçalo Gil, or were poetry not an act of prestidigitation. Closing the session is Tatanka. With a distinctive charisma and voice, the musician became known as the lead singer of one of the most successful Portuguese bands today, The Black Mamba. Tatanka performs on the Campo Alegre’s stage solo (vocals and guitar). "Then just let the breeze run" from Palavra.
