LAST MEMORY Sara Carinhas FRI. OCT 13 // 21:30 Tickets: €10; <30; >65 – 7.50€ Duration: 90′ // M/12 Memory occupies the central place of this project. “No. It’s not about memory but about the fear of forgetting”, writes Sara Carinhas. Books and photographs are present on stage as symbols of inscription, registration, remembrance. Combining her voice with that of other authors, the actress and director seeks to confuse in her autobiography, fictions and stories that do not belong to her. Virginia Woolf, eternal ghost-author revisited by Sara, reappears, this time through her non-fiction texts and the chronology that intersects between the two – there are also images, family trees, letters received, fear of the end of the world and the literature needed to keep the dream alive. A performance in the form of a conference-monologue that can sometimes be confused with a party (and what dangers does a party run?), through which the actress shares references that feed ideas, life frames, unfinished thoughts, doubts and proposals , oscillating between the fixed script he wrote and the improvisation, or forgetting, of the moment.

PEQUENO PROBLEMA is Dário Guerreiro’s third stand-up comedy solo and may or may not be a trivial reference to the artist’s short stature.

And it might all go well if there wasn’t always a Little Problem.

MARIA JOÃO “SONGS FOR SHAKESPEARE” Algarve Music Series SAT. 7 OCT // 9:30 pm Tickets: €12 Duration: 70’ // M/6 “Songs for Shakespeare” consists of original musical and performance material where the starting point is Shakespeare’s words taken from different sources and with no apparent connection between them. Gluing these pieces together into a patchwork blanket creates a new narrative that tears the Shakespearean universe from one end to the other. “Songs for Shakespeare” fuses the genius of one of the most beloved poets with a charismatic and innovative electronic style. It is a labor of love, which has been developing in the universe of Maria João and João Farinha, partners for over ten years in the jazz/electronic project OGRE electric. The eight original songs on this album take the listener on a kind of poetic trip, an exciting adventure in the form of sound. “Songs for Shakespeare” is also the most recent work released by singer Maria João, at the end of last year. Voice: Maria João Actor: André Gago Synthesizers and Keyboards: João Farinha Drums: Silvan Strauss Electronics: André Nascimento Sound Technician: Suse Ribeiro Lighting Technician: Anabela Gaspar Promoter: Algarve Music Series
