ALMORADA

ALMORADA’s second performance takes us on a deliberate plunge into surrealism, not as a historical label, but as a living force: a poetic gesture of resistance against political and cultural suffocation. Along this journey, we revisit the female voices that engaged with the Portuguese surrealist constellation — often sidelined in the dominant narrative — such as Isabel Meyrelles, Luíza Neto Jorge and Natália Correia, but also Ana Hatherly, Maria Teresa Horta and Salette Tavares. Improvisation and sonic exploration, hallmarks of ALMORADA, become surrealist devices: zones of risk where language breaks down to reinvent itself, where sound can precede meaning, and where the accidental becomes revelation. ALMORADA thus affirms surrealism as a living practice: not museum-bound, but urgent, a gesture of sensitive disobedience and an attempt to imagine other possible worlds, taking us to places where the imagination can still tear slits in what we call reality.
