Itinerário do Sal - SALT ITINERARY
ópera multimédia
Reflexão sobre a Criação e a Loucura, a ópera multimédia Itinerário do Sal gira em torno da linguagem, da palavra-sentido e da palavra-som; ambas tratadas como dimensões da voz, da voz enquanto extensão do corpo e ambas totalmente integradas na construção cénica como projecção tangível da ressonância das palavras através do som e da imagem. Áudio, Vídeo e processamento electrónico em tempo real associados à projecção espacial da voz, da poesia, do gesto, da música e do traço, desenvolvem uma polifonia de sentidos, um contraponto de significados, uma exuberância de emoções.
Um performer/autor em palco talha ao vivo novos trilhos na música electrónica; o som, a luz, as imagens e o movimento como que desenhados, pintados ou esculpidos, desafiam de forma poderosa, intensa e emocionante as convenções e os limites entre Música, Teatro e Ópera.
Salt Itinerary multimedia opera transcends theatrical and music conventions. Reflecting on Art and Madness, it revolves around languages, words as meaning and words as sound. Both are used as an extension of the body and melted in the construction of the staging as a tangible projection of the resonance of the words through sound and image.
Live audio and video electronic processing and diffusion of the voice, poetry, gestures, music and the drawings creates a polyphony of senses and a counterpoint of meanings. Molding sounds, lights, pictures and movements as if being drawn, painted or carved, Salt Itinerary is a powerful, engaging and challenging combination of music and drama by one performer that shapes new grounds in electronic music and breaks boundaries between music, theatre, opera.

A Laugh to Cry explores some of the essential concerns of human beings, transported to our time in the context of a globalized world, formalizing themselves in a reflection on the hegemonic power of destruction of memory, devastationof the Earth while speculating on the collapse of humanity.It’s a cry of freedom against tyranny, against the destructionof Art, against the devastation of the earth, against theomnipresence of arrogance and injustice, against of oppression; it's a glimpse of the loss of humanity, and theforeseen loss of civilisation as we know it.
The opera develops on the border between dream and reality,between the visible and the invisible, between laughter and tears.
A Laugh to Cry with music and multilingual libretto by MiguelAzguime (Portuguese, French, English, and several otherlanguages in the final part) is a metaphysical theatre that putseternal archetypes to music and on stage. The interpretationinvolves five characters, represented by two sopranos, a bassand two narrators (woman and man); 7 acoustic instruments: flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, piano and percussion andelectronic media in real time. The staging is based on multiple video projections built in symbiosis between music and text.
