Eugénio de Andrade wrote that “words are like a crystal”, stressing their multifaceted nature.
Some are incendiary. Others are fluid and refreshing. Some can destroy, while others are fragile and magical. All are involved in depicting the truth. It’s pointless to try and negate them. This is a special session of the “Reading Farms” incorporated into the Festival DDD – Days of Dance 2017 and featuring guests from various artistic genres united by the liberating power that comes from unleashing the word. Unique and unrepeatable moments will be emulsified by the following artists: Catarina Santiago Costa and Daniel Jonas (invited poets), Alberto Serra (presentation and conversation with the invited poets), Ana Dora Borges and Júlio Cerdeira (invited dancers), Ana Paiva and Valdemar Santos (readings), Manuela Pimentel (image) and António Olaio & João Taborda accompanied by Afonso Almeida (music). Come and dance to the sound of the word.
