EXHIBITION 8 APRIL – 3 JULY 2021 LÍGIA OLIVEIRA BETWEEN LAND AND SEA BETWEEN THE SEA AND THE SHORE Biography Lígia Oliveira grew up surrounded by the tranquility of the landscapes of southern Portugal, which have inspired her ever since. She initially studied Product Design, and later obtained a PhD in Urban Design in Barcelona, where she had the experience of working in various disciplines and cultures. This helped Oliveira to develop a broader approach to art, by understanding the physical space and its elements, its relationship with other disciplines and to train the eye for details at different scales. Fascinated by the possibilities of expression and investigation of art, with her work Oliveira intends to touch, inform and inspire emotionally for an integrated relationship with nature. Multiplying the elements until they form patterns fascinates her, as well as finding new ways to interact with each other, in a balance between discipline and freedom of expression. These repetitive sequences transform the painting process into a tranquilizing and meditative act. Oliveira was a professor at the University of Porto and a researcher at the University of Barcelona. She is the author of several scientific articles, co-author of the book The Economy […]

In gentle yoga, you take time to feel your body and move with your breath. Breath and movement are aligned. In this way gentle yoga supports us in keeping our organs healthy and joints lubricated. Gentle yoga is a bridge between moving in flow and staying stationary. It is a midway, where there is equilibrium and bliss in every pose. You stay in a pose long enough to enjoy that you are not pushing yourself. Gentle yoga equally strengthens and stretches, increasing flexibility and repairing muscles that are in need of love. Join me for these gentle, non-strenuous flows to feel more grounded in your body and lifted in your mind.

BLUE BOW CAMPAIGN April 1st to 30th Location: Lagos Municipality Org .: CPCJ – Commission for the Protection of Children and Youth of Lagos The Blue Ribbon Campaign started in 1989 in Virginia, USA, when a grandmother, Bonnie W. Finney, tied a blue ribbon to her car’s antenna as a way of alerting the curious who questioned her about the ills. treatments suffered by his granddaughter, who had already brutally killed his grandson. Why blue? Because, despite being a beautiful color, Bonnie Finney did not want to forget the beaten and bruised bodies of her two grandchildren. Blue would serve as a constant reminder of her struggle to protect children from abuse. This story, in addition to demonstrating how the concern of a single citizen had an effect on awakening the consciences of the general public, became universal, giving rise to a campaign for the Prevention of Child Abuse, to which the National Commission for Promotion of the Rights and Protection of Children and Youth (at national level) and the Commission for the Protection of Children and Youth in Lagos (at the local level) have come together, with the aim of raising awareness of the care and protection of children.

In a world (ours) of fake news, we ask: In life, what is the truth? And in the theater? Is the theater to come to life, will it be a lie space? Does the actor have to lie to be true? Will there be godly lies? These are some of the questions we asked to start the confrontation: from the characters ‘lies, to the actors’ truth. Lie is used to achieve the desired ends: and no one goes unpunished! Lies are used, as lies are abused today. It has made its way among us and with it the darkest ends in the history of mankind are reached.

Álvaro Cortez, percussion and Isabel Romero, piano Song April 17, Saturday, 9:30 pm, Grand Auditorium live streaming The concert opens with “Frozen in Time”, by Avner Dorman. The work intends, on the one hand, to return to a time when the geographic morphology was different from the current one, evoking environments and sounds according to these ancient continents; on the other hand, mixing all the times in one, when referring to musical styles from various historical periods. From Cage, we went through several facets of the composer: one more nostalgic, represented by the “Round”; and even more percussive, with “Soliloquy”. A new element is added to the concert, through the composition of John Psathas for Marimba, Junk Pecussion and Electrónica. “One Study” is full of virtuosity, energy and glory. Finally, the show ends with the work of Gerassimez, composed in homage to Piazzolla, from there, seeking to contrast the tension and the lyricism.

Considered the biggest manifestation of faith south of Fatima, the Festa da Mãe Soberana returns, after the 2020 edition was not held due to the risk of spreading the new coronavirus.

Teresa Salgueiro is, without a doubt, a unique artistic figure in our country and constitutes an emblematic image of Portugal in the world. Her career in music begins in 1986 when, at just 17 years old, she is invited to join the foundation of the Madredeus group, recording 9 albums of original music, created specifically for her voice. Between 1987 and 2007, twenty years of travel and more than five million albums sold worldwide, made us the first international representatives of music made in Portugal, after Amália Rodrigues. And Teresa Salgueiro, with her discreet and delicate presence and her extraordinary voice, was the “figurehead” of this musical ship. Invitations from names as different as José Carreras, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Carlos Núnez, Angelo Branduardi or Zbigniew Preisner recognized Teresa as one of the great contemporary singers. The last 13 years correspond precisely to the period that marks his independence as an interpreter and producer, since the departure of Madredeus in 2007. As of 2012, he still asserts himself as the author of the music and words he sings, gathered in the albums “O Misterio” ”And“ O Horizonte ”. The themes of his creation, along with the great variety of Portuguese […]
MOLLY BLOOM’S NIGHT ACTA – The Algarve Theater Company In the last chapter of Joyce’s Ulysses, Mr. Leopold Bloom, after wandering around Dublin for twenty hours, returns home to sleep with his wife. He lies down and soon falls asleep. It is during Mr. Bloom’s sleep that his wife, Molly, unravels facets of his personality and her own. It is a torrential, fragmented soliloquy, with phrases linked uninterruptedly by associations of thoughts, dreams and erotic fantasies that plague this woman during insomnia. The question of whether or not it is a feminist discourse is debated. We are particularly interested in addressing this metaphor of Penelope on the existential plane.

THE “NEW” OLD Opening: Maria Salomé Pais Panel: Pedro Pita Barros, Maria João Valente Rosa, Rodrigo A. Cunha Moderator: Alexandre Quintanilha Today we live more years and we also live better, with more quality. The investigation tries to understand the reasons for longevity and seeks to expand it, to limits that we did not anticipate. The advancement of age is accompanied by an increase in chronic pathologies, because “old age never travels alone”, which carries social costs and responsibilities, namely for future generations. People come to the end of “official” working time with physical and intellectual capacities that can be used in their social value. Thus, society has to find spaces, which it has not yet thought about, to integrate the “new old people”. The Meetings with Society seek to promote reflection on collective responsibility in ways of valuing the elderly through their active, qualified and experienced contribution to the tasks of the present and to think better about the future. Access is free, but subject to registration. Zoom access data will be sent by email. You can register here: https://forms.gle/mr2VBAUkJUjDuCnE8 The session will also be broadcast through the Academy of Sciences YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/academialx – The Lisbon Science Academy […]
ITALY RECALLS Classic Lethes Cycle OCS – Classical Southern Orchestra Memories of happy days spent in Florence and modern revisiting of the great Italian masters of the past! A concert with works by Casella and Tchaikovsky. After a very short and disastrous marriage, Tchaikovsky takes refuge in Florence where he finally finds some peace of mind in order to continue composing – here he finished the opera ‘Dama de Espadas’ and advanced on his string sextet, the last great chamber music that wrote and dedicated to the St. Petersburg Chamber Music Society. As you would expect, the title Souvenir de Florence is not a picturesque portrait of the beautiful Italian city, or some connection to popular themes (as it happens in your Capricho Italiano), but rather it materializes memories of happy days! In the twentieth century, the prominent Italian composer, pianist and conductor Alfredo Casella, on the one hand was a driver of the ‘new music’, on the other hand he was one of the main responsible for the revival of the great works of the Baroque period (with particular attention to music Antonio Vivaldi). His Serenade reveals a total understanding of the styles and forms of Italian and French […]

Commemorations of the 20th anniversary of the Municipal Library of Faro “António Ramos Rosa”
“Liberdades is a program that jumps out of a challenge, at a time when many of us forget what Freedom is and its limits, what it implies in all our lives and moments. The 25th of April 1974 is the most recent date in the History of Portugal, of the most recent Freedom of our Country, but, because the concept is much broader, we decided to make a bridge and a merger at various levels. If, on the one hand, we have the compelling “E Depois do Adeus”, or “Pedra Filosofal”, we will also have a “Bella Ciao” or a “Blowing In The Wind” around the world. We have merged several authors, from Zeca Afonso, Paulo de Carvalho, Manuel Freire, Bob Dylan, John Lennon or Bob Marley, among others. All gathered here in their views on Freedom, or the various Freedoms, after all. The orchestrations for this program come from several selected orchestrators, from as many other countries as the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States of America, Germany, or Iceland. Keeping Jazz as a Universal and background language, we will be able to listen to the reading of each one of them on the selected musical themes, while respecting […]

In Antestreia and with the Director’s presence, with kids and adults, among friends, we celebrate the past, the present and the future, on the move…
Re-Re-Opening ** New Premiere 23rd of April we mark our return with the premiere of a new show specially prepared for you !!! “MEMOIRS” In this utopian creation, two scribes that roam the mundane world collect the memories and experiences of the beings that inhabit it, invisible to the naked eye but where their presence is always remarkable. Being totally oblivious to human behavior, like children playing, in the course of writing their diaries, their curiosity to experience the entities they observed, takes them on a journey of experimentation for the collected, good, bad and sometimes sensations worse! Will his discernment for humans reside in love and compassion, or in giving up for his actions that were able to collect through the memories of the various personas? They used to say that Man is the size of his dream … Maybe we all live in a nightmare. »» »» »+351 926 636 974 »» »» »Reservas.casadasvirtudes@gmail.com

THE MARGIN OF TIME – EUNICE MUÑOZ AND LÍDIA MUÑOZ At 92, Eunice Muñoz feels prepared to leave the stage. More than a farewell, the show “The Margin of Time” is a testimony to his granddaughter Lídia Muñoz and to generations to come. The renowned actress once again assumes an intervening role in her career in this intimate show, where grandmother and granddaughter act together to the sound of an original soundtrack created and performed by conductor Nuno Feist, confronting us with several reflections on women in our society: What life are we allowed by today’s society? After 40 hours of work a week, what are the other 128? Free time to exercise what freedom? What life is that of a woman employed in a factory, in her middle years, without a sexual life? To what extent has this fought since the beginning of the century, the power of a woman to earn her life and live her life alone, has changed society? Or to what extent was it not just finding a place on the margins of society, a makeshift temporary place, interim life? In a society organized about production relations and the family, what place does a woman […]

“Dias Contados” is a creation that explores the housing crisis, a scourge of which Elizabete Francisca was a victim. At a time when she was designing a new dance project, the choreographer received an eviction letter in the post office of the house she rented in Lisbon. Thereafter, he wondered whether her personal drama, which could be extended to so many others, would not be an issue to deal with through art. Elizabete Francisca’s artistic proposal escapes categorization and is located between dance, photography, visual and sound installation, visual arts and rehearsal. SYNOPSIS I received the letter. I opened the letter. I read the letter. I stood still.
Borderline marks a turning point in the research and choreographic language of Sébastien Ramirez and Honji Wang. Dance evolves into a dialogue between the technique and the art of rigging, reflecting on human relationships that have come to include the reality of coexistence in our society. In the interaction with the rigger, the body becomes the object of a “weight game”, of balance and freedom. Fixed by cables, the five dancers transpose the desire for freedom inherent in all forms of dance.

Maria II And now, what is done to us? United States, 1940s. We are in the American Dream, the ideal of self made man and the myth of success. Willy Loman wants to give the world to his children, he wants them to conquer it. After 34 years working as a traveling salesman, he sees his dreams fade away, losing ground and, consequently, the notion of reality. A modern tragedy of ordinary people, who finds the ultimate violence in the helplessness of failure. It is really chilling to see, now, this Death of a traveling salesman that startled the world on his debut, on Broadway, in 1949 (in a show directed by Elia Kazan) and that Portugal arrived […]

Invites The Ladies, invite them all!

The Salt, the sun and the south and a different late afternoon in Salina Félix
To the south and in the sun in a late afternoon, the participants of the first action of the initiative “End of Afternoon in Salt” were able to collect their own salt, in an experience that aims to value the profession of salt and salt flower. In Salina Félix, in the middle of the Sapal de Castro Marim and VRSA Nature Reserve, the new salineiros learned about the whole process of artisanal saliniculture, collecting the salt manually, with the ancestral techniques that the fresh salineiros taught them. Home they took an enriching experience, 1 bag of the “best salt in the world” and also 2 packs of salt flower, which they themselves collected from the herseherand. The traditional sea salt of Castro Marim results from the conjugation of the salineiro’s work with the action of tides, sun and winds, and is not subject to any kind of subsequent treatment, presenting naturally white and bright. The salt flower was also observed, although atmospheric conditions did not allow collection. Also the salt flower does not undergo any kind of processing, dries in the sun and is then packed, maintaining the taste and humidity of the sea. This initiative is part of a strategy of valorization and promotion of salineiro and, consequently, of salt, which is one of the ex-libris of Castro Marim. Providing this contact of proximity and familiarization, it hopes to increase and boost the commercialization of local products in the tourist chain. About 2 months ago Castro Marim was also able to see legally protected the name “Sal e Flor de Sal de Castro Marim” (PDO – Protected Designation of Origin). The “End of Afternoon in Salt” is an action organized by the Municipality of Castro Marim and Odiana Association, integrated in the Blue Flag 2020 program and framed in the application “Heritage of Castro Marim: Valorization and Promotion of Local Producers and Endogenous Products”, composed by PO CRESC 2020, PADRE project, supported by Portugal and the European Union, co–financed at 70% by the FEDER.
